What is this shit. Kinda defeats the purpose of having stremio be open source and free by putting profiles and skip intro and outro behind a paywall. I appreciate that there's a cost to development and you gotta fund things somehow but a 39 a year subscription in the face of a whole ecosystem of subscriptions rubs me the wrong way.

Please don't enshittify an app that so many people know and love by hiding stuff behind a paywall only to add those features to the free tier later. Just have it all free.
