      According to the same company (Telsyte) Netflix had about 6 Million subscribers in 2021. So that would make about 3% losses in subscribers.

        I yin the 200k is just Aussie subscribers though? Or are you saying they also had 6 million new aussie ones?

        The article isn’t 100% clear, but it says “get lost 200k”. They the next sentence “the first time they’ve lost aussie subscribers”

          Sounds like net loss then. So what’s the usual gain rate? We need to know the difference to know the actual impact. If they were getting +200k before then they actually lost a net 400k users from previous rate which is a bigger deal

        Wtf. Netflix has 100s of millions of subscribers.

        Subscriber count has been in slow decline since 2021.
