.....make money off a crowdsourced service. They didn't write the damn subtitles.

Ah the reddit formula

And ancestry dot com. That one still chaps my ass. My mom spent so much time in there adding in her work, and they just fucking locked it one day behind a paywall. Fuck these sites that just take the users hard work and then try and profit off it without announcing that from the get go.

Always assume that's the ultimate goal with for-profit services.

I always assume that. My mom was getting up there in age, and just having a fun time entering in her work. She had no clue that would happen, until it did.
