   Oh look. Just like Reddit, OpenSubtitles is going to limit their API and try and charge people for access. All their subtitles are user submitted and they have the testicles to try and profit from this content which often helps deaf people enjoy movies.

     @Jezebelley A timely reminder that an “open API” is a gate owned by someone else that just happens to be open right now. But it is just as much in the nature of a gate to be closed and locked as it is to be open. You can all thank Tim O’Reilly and his Web 2.0 grift for making us all think otherwise.

     @Polychrome @Jezebelley right, this sounds like a web app that should have been a git.
