Again and as always nothing but all of the love for the viki subbers but they do know that its been today ALL DAY and both of the dramas Im watching have been at 0% all day?
I know I know I know
Volunteers
Pandemic
Everyone is busy busy busy
But …. dramas.
They are supposed to be subbed today and today is today.
I think Viki is struggling. I have been getting nothing but emails about viewing parties (ummm, you barely sub now) and recommendations ( I guess they see that activity on my account is down). I cancelled my account and I received a email for a survey and they asked me what the problem was.
I told them they need to have paid subbers and they need to get rid of the chain of service. There is nothing left at this point. Even paying for standard is no more as they are putting all of the standard programs under Plus, and all the Plus that was released from the Kocowa contract after 365 days is now back under Plus.
I don’t know what their plan is but this is just tragic.
I actually don’t think they get to sub unless viki puts the videos up so the uploading delay is causing more delay. I haven’t subbed for a while though so I can’t be sure.
Hence, I’m watching Bo Gummy’s drama on M and T, then watch DYLB on W and Th. Geez, I hope it’s subbed by now. I hate trying to avoid spoilers and missing the discussions in the recaps.
I’m glad to see I’m not the only one over Viki. I feel like it’s becoming more and more frequent that I get the “Not available in your region” message on some pretty mainstream shows, not to mention basically NO movies, but I’m primarily annoyed about DYLB right now – ep 7 should have at least loaded by now (Tuesday morning), but it still says “Coming Soon.” Until it’s loaded, no subbing starts. And since this one was billed as Only on Viki, that’s pretty damn poor form. I’d like to cancel, honestly, but aside from Netflix I’d have no other way to watch. 🙁
I refuse to cancel VIKI. I know they are slow with subbing, but they are really my only other legal choice besides for Netflix. And subbing on a bad day in VIKI is better than Netflix. But dang if Netflix doesn’t get those subs out fast. It’s why I’m watching Record of Youth first in the week while I wait for Brahms’ subs.
I did cancel. What did it for me was I was planning to upgrade to Plus but then I saw every past show that open to watch is now under Plus. And these are shows that are years and years old and should have been released after the 365 day mark. And the variety shows are being trimmed completely. Like they literally pulled episodes of shows and the ones left are under Plus.
That was when I was done. They want more money for a service that has decreased. I held out this long because of the library.
The same things you mentioned are disappointing me, too. There are so many things I’d like to watch that I don’t have access to because of my region, and this delay in content/subbing with the live shows is really a downer for me. I just checked and, strangely, I don’t have an option to upgrade to Plus – I only seem to have Basic and Standard (which I currently have) as options. I’m surprised that it’s so hard to get content these days, considering the swell in popularity globally.
there was this loooong comment from a person who used to work for them on mydramalist and it was fascinating but sad. basically…..they suck energy out of people and feel no need to deliver when they could totally do what netflix does and have them prepared. that’s moneymaking baybeee. contemplating not doing an updated sub bc that’s 10 bucks a month lmao

Weve already lost df. What will happen if viki goes the way of df? The only legit sites left would be kocowa (which…ugh) Netflix and hulu.

I hate to say it… but I feel like the quality of viki subs has also gone down lately.
It was one thing to wait a little longer for more accurate subs, but now they don’t even seem that much better than Kocowa or VIU anymore…
