>I get it: why kill yourself to release a better version ASAP if 99% of schmucks will just grab Horrible instead?

Yeah the racing was silly. The subs themselves weren't necessarily that much better either, which is why I think rips like Horriblesubs won out in the end for most people. I loved fansubs and the community around it (and the drama).

Though I think the scene dying is less of a mix of people moving on and more the internet changing (and the medium subjectively getting worse). There's more shows out now than ever before, but relatively less interest for most of them.
