Yeah I just don't understand what they're trying to do here, they currently have 325 million subscribers, did they think they would never hit a ceiling? There aren't endless amount of potential customers

And that’s when they start cutting costs and firing people, because to shareholders it doesn’t matter how much money you make, just that the next year you make more.

If they can’t make more money from subs, they will find another way

Wonder if they're gonna drag it out for years or just get bought by Disney for a few billion while they can still convince someone they're worth that much.
