This will just create new competition for them. I have been watching anime for several years and never once had to go through opensubtitles. Most releases now have the subtitles integrated so what is the value they bring to the whole thing?
Edit: I just realized I'm replying the one an only db0, you are the best, cheers!
Anime is a different culture. Most non-anime stuff doesn't have them embedded (especially the old stuff) and it's still useful for finding subtitles for other languages
I use it primarily because the embedded subs are often in vubsub which fucking sucks and can't be played probably on some devices, they also don't scale probably.
