Did they? This should certainly reduce their expenses related to their streaming infrastructure. And if most of the affected people weren't paying anyway, it will have little or no effect on their revenue. It will result in less word of mouth, and possibly a bit of negative press. If subscriptions don't go up afterwards and streaming infrastructure costs are a sufficiently small portion of their total expenses, then I could see it being a net negative. In any case, their biggest problem is that their content has become so mediocre, but this action won't have any effect on that.
