But total revenue increased.

I'm saying that it's false to insinuate subscribers going up due to this change. That's false. Anything about total revenue is a completely different sentence. And it likely decreased or stayed about the same as the United States is more or less the most expensive reigon.

Perhaps they hid it among a period of growth to fool investors.

Subscribers went down while monthly fees went up.

Ohh right I didn't account for that.

I'll upvote dissenting opinions for the sake of argument.
