According to the chart it's a loss of 3% of their total subscriber base. I highley doubt Netflix will bat an eye.

Also they leave out that almost 6 million additional signups were added by this change. I'm ready to go back to the high seas myself even though I'm the one who pays for the account haha

Well, it depends. Leveraging a growing subscription base into cheap debt is kind of their business model.
