You can get a free, year-long TheTVDB user subscription by contributing metadata and artwork through their community points portal.
Since TheTVDB moved to a paid API v4 model ($11.99/year), this crowdsourcing initiative allows users to access unique subscriber PINs for media software (like Kodi) entirely for free. How the Points System Works
Contribute Data: Search for missing info on external sites and add it to TheTVDB.
Earn Points: Submitting valid updates, translations, or artwork rewards you with points.
Get Vetted: Site moderators validate your data submissions to keep records accurate.
Unlock Rewards: Reaching the point threshold grants a free 1-year subscription.
Estimated Effort: Developers initially structured the portal so that a free PIN requires roughly 2 hours of total data contribution.
