Is it? It's a simple text file, the download costs them close to nothing. 20 subtitles per day is laughable, especially because other people make the subtitles.
Bandwidth and hosting still cost money, period. And why would 20 be laughable? What would be okay by your book? 50? 100? 1000? 20 per day is fine for most users, how much content are you downloading every single day that it wouldn't be?
At 20 per day it would take me 3 years to fetch subtitles for my entire TV library
so you can buy a one time vip access? would 20 000 subtitles be worth $10? How many should you get for $10 to be worth it?
For me it would and I'll happily pay the people doing the subtitles.
