Subscription info is definitely part of the information provided to investors. The raw numbers may not be in the financial documents, but revenue from subscriptions most definitely is and will give a general idea of changes even if the company doesn’t give the numbers directly.

Right, but again, if they’re that birds-eye-view, then the bump in subs in one spot is negated by the drop in the other and the net result they’re looking at is what they care about.

Shareholders are dumb panicky creatures. As long as the numbers aren’t terrible and you say some nice things most of them take it as gospel.
Spinning shit as a positive is a full time career in the corporate world after all.

Right, but I’m saying the “numbers” aren’t influenced by this.
