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?
It's not auto-subtitling, I checked. But that is a different thing they made (without the ad inserting part). It's at https://ai.opensubtitles.com/
They add one ad at the beginning like "visit example.com" inside the subtitle file
But luckily there aren't many companies that want to be associated with piracy* so in most cases it's blank a generic "advertise here contact [email protected]"
I remember only a campaign that lasted over a year, a service that promotes legal streaming services, filmamo.it
* note: why I said "associated with piracy": those files are going to be used with pirated video files and in most cases are pirated too as they've been extracted from a DVD or a streaming service without a license from the copyright holders. Once I saw a guide "how to use external subs with Netflix" for the rare edge cases where the viewer is watching a content via VPN and his sub language is missing, but those are very rare. Not to mention that for MPAA there's no difference between just torrenting a movie or paying a subscription to Netflix in another country via VPN: for them is all piracy and they want to stop both.
Fucking MPAA. Quite possibly the most corrupt pile of dickheads to ever assemble. They blatantly ignored their own raring guidelines for decades until they decided they got tired of being called out on it and changed them to be so vague that they would he allowed to justify any rating, then started accepting "donations" from production companies to get the ratings they wanted.
