Netflix is done telling us how many people use Netflix: Although subscriber metrics are an important signal to Wall Street that show how quickly a company is ...

Quick Glance: Netflix to Cease Reporting Subscriber Numbers from 2025

Netflix will no longer report subscriber numbers starting from the first quarter of 2025. The announcement came with the first quarter 2024 results where Netflix exceeded expectations.

Despite the success in the first quarter, Netflix shares dropped over 4.5% after-hours upon revealing the decision to stop reporting quarterly subscriber totals.

The choice to discontinue reporting quarterly membership numbers or average revenue per member is based on Netflix's belief that engagement time is the best indicator of customer satisfaction.

Netflix plans to announce major subscriber milestones but will halt reporting quarterly subscriber numbers and shift investor focus towards time-spent-viewing metrics.

911 goes MIA across multiple US states, cause unclear: Some say various cell services were out, others still say landlines were affected. What just happened?

Quick Glance: 911 Emergency Call Issue Across Four States

A widespread disruption on Wednesday affected residents' ability to dial the 911 emergency number in parts of Nebraska and Texas, the entire state of South Dakota, and Las Vegas, according to local authorities.

In Las Vegas, calls to 911 on both landline and mobile phones were inaccessible for about two hours before service was reinstated around 9 p.m.

Throughout the outage, operators observed efforts to place calls from mobile phones and would subsequently return the residents' calls, with all attempted calls being successfully answered.

The EU demands TikTok owner ByteDance to submit a risk assessment for TikTok Lite within 24 hours to address compliance questions related to the Digital Services Act.

The company has until April 26 to provide additional information before the EU decides on potential further steps, such as a formal investigation.
