Crave add on suddenly, with only some content available free

Recently I noticed at the top righr corner where it shows add on channels you have, crave shows up now.

I didnt pay for it, and its not fully unlocked. Some movies and shows are shown as free with crave, others are locked,

So is this just something crave did recently for everyone, make some of their content free to watch, which caused the crave subscription to show up under your add on channels?

Bring back forced subs for all non English language scenes in movies I watch in English.

As stated. All streaming sites need to change this. It was never an issue until the last few years. They need to adjust the tracks to properly show the same way a movie was shown in theatres. Just finished watching Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol and it is so damn annoying when I know that all of the Russian language scenes and the scenes where Ethan is lip reading had the proper subtitles on the screen. It is so annoying. I refuse to have English subs on during English scenes, considering that is the language I’m watching the movie or tv show in! The only reason I can think of is the weird people who only watch with subtitles complained that there are double subs during those scenes. Easy enough to just get over it. I don’t want them unless I need them. Ergo only during non English speaking scenes. I also noticed that in MI2 they had forced subs anytime a word was on the screen. Example the rocket that shoots his message glasses at the beginning prompts something like S5-7 (labeled on side of rocket). So these movies clearly have some forced subs and need to be updated to properly include them when they are required while watching in English.

FYI I don’t need to see another person state the following: “sometimes it’s an artistic decision”. This happens in one movie in a thousand. The only one I’ve ever came across it is the 13th warrior and how he begins to understand the language of the other characters partway through the movie.

Has anybody noticed that if you stop a movie and continue watching it later, they add more ad breaks back in?

I started watching the 007 movies last night now that they're on Prime. I got through 2 of 4 ad breaks and decided to go to bed and finish today.

When I resumed the movie today, I had 3 ad breaks remaining one of which was in a spot where no ad break was shown yesterday.

So out of curiosity, I started another movie right after knowing I wouldn't finish it in one sitting. Again, I made it through 2 of 4 ad breaks and, now that I'm resuming the movie later, there's 3 to go one of which is in a new spot.

I have ads on pretty much every streaming service now but I have never seen the other services manipulate the ad break locations to make sure you watch a minimum number of breaks each time you hit play.
