Thanks for sharing. Is it me or did it sound like the company is growing because they get free high quality subtitles which means the international audience share is huge. These same people are so grateful to have access to a range of shows on a legitimate site that they share links to the content across social media. This means itβs win win for Viki as the savings mean they can buy more dramas.
I have just got an ad for Wong fu productions BTS for the Viki channel. I am glad for Wong fu getting the recognition but shame they had to be associated with a channel that openly exploits their viewers generosity. The video showed how they get subtitles and is clearly going to suck people into wanting to join the volunteers. Itβs a real catch 22 for us viewers we want to access the dramas and have the quality subtitles but want the channel to stop taking liberties and just accept the free days of free subbers should be ended now the channel is so successful and they can afford to pay them. They would still get the free advertising from fans spreading the word and would gain more market share as they have much higher quality subtitles and therefore could cover even more dramas and languages.

It makes me so mad that I pay more for Viki than for any other streaming service and they canβt even pay their subbers. Itβs just gross.
