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"

It is pretty clear the article is talking about Australian subscribers.

Oh my bad. I misread your comment as saying they gained 6 million.

Yeah that makes sense.

Wtf. Netflix has 100s of millions of subscribers.

Subscriber count has been in slow decline since 2021.
