The website TV subtitleswhich provides subtitles in Portuguese for several films and series, announced last Friday that it is closing its activities🇧🇷
In a statement on the website, the team justified the decision due to “a drop in contributions, an increase in costs, exchange rate variation and the impossibility of working with advertising”.
According to the note, the entire collection should be made available “in a simple way, but still functional” in the coming weeks.

Acting independently since the beginning, the team that worked on the site had already commented on the difficulty of keeping Legendas TV active in 2019, when it threatened to shut down activities. At the time, the team asked more people to subscribe to the VIP plan.
- Paramount+ accused of using fan captions in film
The news took many fans by surprise, as the site was one of the main repositories of subtitles on the internet and helped many people to follow their favorite series. 🇧🇷 especially before the “boom” of streaming. Check out the reactions of users on social media:

Streaming services will never match the work the teams at https://t.co/MFpHG04ZhL did. There was a time when all American TV series were subtitled and you couldn’t have a delay of another week or the team would change. The golden age there.
