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.
