    Subscribers are subscribers are subscribers, the total is up so even if they lost some in the US/European market, the rest of the world makes up for it.

      Emerging markets pay around $6 a month for Netflix. Basically the “password crackdown” markets are subsidizing the new subscriptions where Netflix is trying to gain a foothold. It’s the typical “get ‘em hooked, then start raising prices.”

        Sure but if subscriptions were stagnating before and they’re increasing more than ever, it ends up compensating for the loss of people who used to pay more.
