I feel like other streaming platforms will follow the same process as they've proven it's worked.

Step 1: Crack down on password sharing.

Step 2: Open subscriptions to foreign countries with cut-rate pricing.

Step 3: Announce subscriber growth.

We’re too smart for you Netflix. Your revenues are actually down because of all the premium-paid subscribers leaving your platform.

Sorry, but that's just incorrect.

Average daily Sign-ups to Netflix reached 73k during that period, a +102% increase from the prior 60-day average. [...] Cancels also increased during this period, but not as much as Sign-ups. The ratio of Sign-ups to Cancels since May 23rd is up +25.6% compared to the previous 60-day period.

That's US-only data.
