Exciting news for who? Only the site owner is excited that a free resource now requires a subscription
“Yay! Now I have to pay another subscription! I’m so excited! Let’s celebrate with them!” - nobody
How the fuck are they “open”?
These guys and ClosedAI should be sued for misleading advertising.
Opensubtitles.com API is open and free. They are talking about Opensubtitles.org. People seem to really struggle when it comes to reading that 3rd sentence.
Open… for business!
Any service that is subscription based is dead to me. I’ve reached my breaking point.
Subscription based services are okay. You pay for water, electricity, maybe a gym membership…
What’s not okay is that they paint it as “exciting news!”
Assholes.
Water should not be profit driven.
You’re right. I guess I meant to say water distribution services. Utilities.
You pay for water, electricity, maybe a gym membership…
I don’t think you should have to pay for any of this
Water and electricity are not subscription based.
Do you not make a monthly payment for water and power? If not, then where do you live so that I move there?
There’s a difference between paying for usage and paying for access.
Although with all the fees added, most of what you pay isn’t even usage anymore…
So I’m not super familiar with OpenSubtitles as an org.
Is the REST API a mostly viable alternative to the legacy API, or is it really shitty by comparison?
Is the new rest api free?
