Not sure where the positive news is, unless you're a Disney shareholder. They dropped subscribers and are now losing less money. They care about the money, not really the subscribers. This pattern will likely continue.

Their greed backfired and they lost money as a result. Music to my ears. Arrr.

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.
