The wording is confusing but they are making more money from the price hike. They were losing money, they are now losing less money.

Streaming Loss Shrinks by $300 Million

As a non-native English speaker, I thought the same exact thing. That they lost revenue of 300M.

So unfortunately they are gaining revenue? I wish more people would get into Piracy honestly.

Thing is, if more people go pirate stuff, there are less people financing the movie production, and thus, they have pay more In theory, of course, we don’t know what pile of coins goes to manager, CEO, similar for no reason high paid jobs.

people pirate enough -> they fix their platform -> people stop pirating because platform good again -> platform becomes awful again -> repeat

So only pay for stuff you feel comfortable supporting, and pirate the rest, easy
