The article has been updated to reflect that they had more content not more subscribers.

> “Polo pitched his service to potential clients by pointing out that it offered more content than competing legal services such as Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, and Amazon Prime.”

Total revenue was less than a couple million dollars.

No. It is meant as a comparison with Netflix which has a revenue of 15.79 billion dollars.

"They have more content, but make less money," works, but "they have more content, but make _over a million dollars_," doesn't work as well.
