Excuse my skepticism (it comes with experience), but after reading through AnkiHub's PR-speak AI slop, I doubt that a company with 40 employees that already uses a monthly subscription and AI is not going to enshittify this project. Did their team contribute anything to the OSS project while they were building a for profit company on top of it?

My guess is they'll charge for data storage in their servers. It's the lowest hanging fruit.

Time will tell. The words of AnkiHub are quite comforting, as it seems they are a small organisation focused on med students. It also seems they were surprised themselves with the offer they received when asking for collaboration.

They also say they will keep it open source 🤞
