No it's not. While it's true that that suspending their service in Russia costed them 700,000 subscribers, Netflix is projecting that they will lose 2,000,000 users this quarter. [1]

Yes it is. GP is talking solely about what's already happened: -200,000 after having cut off 700,000 from Russia, which is a net gain of 500,000 outside of Russia.

But the projection has nothing to do with cutting off Russians. At least not directly.

They were responding to someone who phrased their comment as if they were also talking about what already happened, not as if they were referring to projections.
