I see you're quite passionate about this topic, Bernhard, and that I can respect. It's no news that subtitling rates have been dwindling overall for quite some time now, and that's what we in the British Subtitlers' association and the AVTE federation are trying to combat, with varied degrees of success. Lately, however, we've made serious progress with some of the largest players in the industry, so the outlook is rather bright. We'll keep on pushing to win good working conditions for audiovisual translators.
That said, even now subtitling experts make quite a bit, since the industry itself is booming. If you've established yourself as a quality service provider, you'll be the go-to specialist for the people who know what's what and who are willing to pay up. This is something everyone looking to become a subtitler should aspire to.
