Aren’t those numbers for other territories where they have cheaper plans and no crackdown on sharing?

The number are for total users. And the password-sharing changes are now global as far as I know.

Where are the separate numbers just for North America? Do they release those? Or do they just mix it all together to obfuscate what happened after the last price raise?

Summary:

  • In May, we successfully launched paid sharing in 100+ countries, representing more than 80% of our revenue base.
    • Revenue in each region is now higher than pre-launch, with sign-ups already exceeding cancellations.
    • Paid net additions were 5.9M in Q2, and today we’re rolling out paid sharing to almost all of the remaining countries.
