Exciting news for who? Only the site owner is excited that a free resource now requires a subscription

If nobody gives them money, they'll revert back.. But people will give them money, so they won't.

But the new api is still free, you just have to pay if you want to use the legacy api. This makes sense to get people to switch without requiring them to do it super fast

Have you even read the email? It's still free

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

For like a month. Then you need to be important and pay them.

Edit: for the current/legacy API. The new API is free, but limited.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but the limit seems to be more than appropriate for most people anyway, so I think their pricing model is pretty reasonable

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It's also $12 a year ($15 normally).

It's a small price to pay to ensure everything on your Plex server has subtitles. Subtitling stuff and hosting it isn't free.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ok but (and correct me if I’m wrong) but aren’t the subtitles crowd sourced? So they are taking user content and then charging for it.

I'd pay 3$ per year for 50/day downloads. That will more than cover the operating cost of my extra load on their servers.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

You're free to do that

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (20 children)

I mean to be realistic, Whisper (the audio to text AI ) linked with chatGPT can subtitle anything in real time, translated in any language, in very high quality...

Itt: People doom posting without understanding what the change actually entails

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

Wow, from "We're just requiring registration" to "fuck you pay us" in a day. How brazen.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

This happens like two weeks after I finally install the opensubs vlc plugin.

Wait... "Ad-Free Subtitles"? I have never even used or heard of this service, but that just feels like an "insult to injury" or "annoy you into paying" abuse? Am I wrong?

Please tell me that this is not some auto-subtitling service that is going to cause ads to be inserted into the subtitles for other ads or something? Like, how do ads in subtitles even work?

Also got this and was like wtf are you trying to hype up here?!

“We’ve just realised that the free offering that got us this far couldn’t possibly make any profit for our shareholders, so we’re making a drastic course correction to make it temporarily seem like we’re a real business so we can hopefully sell to big corp and make it somebody else’s problem.”
