Due to recent events I looked into Simkl integration again.

They seem to offer free importing and more importantly [exporting of your data](https://simkl.com/apps/backup/), which is good.

However, they ask “commercial apps” (SeriesGuide would qualify under their definition) to pay for [using their API](https://simkl.docs.apiary.io/#introduction/getting-started/requirements) (third-party interface SeriesGuide would use). While a point can be made for this (users are less likely to pay for two services, so SeriesGuide and theirs) and it would be perceivable to introduce another subscription tier that adds Simkl support: at this time I don’t want the time sink of negotiating terms and all the organization that comes with this.
