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

    I had issues in the past with opensubtitles serving malware through fake download buttons on the site.

    You had like 6 different buttons to download with only one legit.

    Sent them an email and they removed them…

    I hardly trust this site and really don’t appreciate they use open in their name and pull up shit like this.

    I wish we had some sort of P2P sub hosting… So we don’t have to deal with sites like opensubtitles.

      Well, the fake download buttons that give you malware is all part of the experience. This very email continues later with this:

      Unlike non-VIP users, who might face offers, installers, and redirects before accessing subtitles, VIP members have a streamlined and hassle-free download experience.
