    Will they make more money? Or just lose 20 percent of their subscribers and be lucky to break even?

      That’s not a break even. That’s an increase in profit. 20% less users means the revenue is the same and their costs are down.

        If I’m not mistaken, wouldn’t 20% fewer subscribers at 20% price increase would result in an overall 4% decrease in revenue.

      • Wait, how would their cost decrease?! Are you thinking it’d be from data transmission or something? The drop in user data has to be worth much more than the minimal cost of data transmission. The biggest cost must be media production plus maintaining and running their servers I’d bet, which won’t change much, if at all here.
