    But it’s been free for a really long time

    Of course it has. You need to offer the world a useful service for some length of time before you have dominated the market to such an extent that you can cut the quality and jack up the prices without there being any meaningful competition to worry about.

      You talk like they are owned by some huge corporation and this was their plan from the beginning.

        So who exactly does own OpenSubtitles Group Limited, and what are their motivations? If you’re claiming to know, I assume you must be some kind of insider? Because they don’t seem to be all that open about it. Otherwise we can only judge by their actions.

          I don’t know who they are but it’s quite evident that they at least we’re a very small group in the beginning.

          I also haven’t seen any evidence that there is an evil corpo controlling them or something.
