idk, beyond the fact that, the link alone screams, SHADY MALWARE SCAM, you have two big problems with this approach

 

1. nobody is going to use an external service just to watch closed captions, unless they are desperate, or deaf

2. that website is going to die one day, so bye bye captions, again

The website isn't exactly the best design-wise, I admit. I'd actually like to see it be open sourced, too. As you said, some contingency plan is definitely needed, such as publishing archives of their database (I'll ask them about that and if it could be open sourced). Anyway, all of your criticism is valid, but I do have hope in the project being improved on.
