The subs are still free for casual users the ones that need to pay are power users that download through the API.
The API users won't upload subs or anything, website users are more likely to do that.
I doubt I will switch provider because they seem to be the best by far and I download 1-2 files per movie/series automatically via Bazarr.
If anyone knows any non shit options please tell me.
I would hardly consider 'power users' the ones who download via the API. I used to download them via BSPlayer, where it will prompt you in a nice user friendly interface if you needed subtitles for whatever you were watching. Well, that used the old OpenSubtitles API, and now that it's gone it's not gonna work anymore
