  Not sure where the positive news is. They dropped subscribers and are now losing less money. They care about the money, not really the subscribers. This pattern will likely continue.

    Their greed backfired and they lost money as a result. Music to my ears. Arrr.

      The wording is confusing but they are making more money from the price hike. They were losing money, they are now losing less money.

        As a non-native English speaker, I thought the same exact thing. That they lost revenue of 300M.

        So unfortunately they are gaining revenue? I wish more people would get into Piracy honestly.

      Unfortunately, no. They were already losing lots of money. They are now losing less money than they were before even after people left. Which is generally what happens if you’re losing money for every subscriber and then subscribers leave.

        “see this chart here? We lose money for every subscriber! We’ll never make any money until we get rid of all of theml”

        How do you lose money per subscriber? Surely the subscription fee each subscriber pays is enough to offset the server, labor, etc costs, right?
