This story is not about people leaving. It's about them not getting as many NEW customers as they thought.
But the story says:
Gross additions were on target, but churn ticked up slightly and unexpectedly.
Your statement that they didn't get as many new customers as they predicted is incorrect; their gross addition of new customers was on track. What was not on track was their net number of customers, because, as the story says, churn (that is, the departure of existing customers) increased unexpectedly. The news is the unexpected churn.
By requesting a search that should have netted his own earlier FOIA requests, and didn't, Ryan Shapiro was able to demonstrate the inadequacy of the index-term search the FBI is using. Clever.
Imagine if you printed out all of the pictures on Snapchat and tried to fly them on Lufthansa. It would take forever because (a) Lufthansa doesn't have nearly enough planes to move the pictures currently in Snapchat, and (b) Snapchatters keep taking pictures. It's that "keep taking pictures" part that makes Snapchat the interweb dynamo that it is today.
Controlled access/distribution is still alurring to many, too bad it's merely an illusion of control.
Snapchat's ability to disable the screenshot functionality of your phone, thus preventing you from capturing the photos that Snapchat will soon disappear, was a major innovation. Oh...
Instagram and FB are mostly an archive of old stuff.
Exactly! Instagram and FB should develop an algorithm that shows you new things. New things you'd be interested in. They could arrange them in a stream, so you'd get a stream of new things that you're interested in. Now that would be a game changer.

So if I Google kickass torrents and Google returns a link to their site, shouldn't Google be prosecuted as an accessory?
If you post to /. about the idea of using Google to search for Kickass Torrents, shouldn't you and /. both be prosecuted as accessories?
How does that contradict anything I've said?
Because you said:

My Aunt Gertie died 12 weeks ago, you insensitive clod!
This won't show up on my FB feed for another week. Blame Zuck.
... what your Aunt Gertie liked 13 weeks ago, etc.
Showing me what my Aunt Gertie liked 13 weeks ago is considered current in Aunt Gertie's world.

So Netflix gets more subscribers but Apple continues to make money far our of proportion relative to its actual cost.
Cost is secondary, at best, with value based pricing.
