It became way more frustrating when they started to add ads in the subtitles. It was a few years ago and since then i never even tried to use them

I downloaded the SRT, stripped the ads using SubtitleEdit and embedded them in the MKV file using MKVToolNix to keep it all together.

why bother with any dedicated app just to remove one or two lines of "ad" (99.9% is just them offering ad service, but seems like nobody is interested really), open in notepad, Shift+End, Delete, done

I like to make sure all the numbered lines are all sequential, and I already use it for creating subtitles so why not do it the proper way.

but they will be sequential, you can just fill them with empty space

or you can completely delete whole string including timestamp, it's not like any hardware of software videoplayer cares about missing number
