$1/month extra cost on $16/month of revenue is very significant though.

1$/month was just wildly off.

They have 17 million paying subscribers. If they subtitled 1,000 episodes of content a month * 200$ = 200k / 17 million ~= 1 cent per subscriber per month. Actual cost per subscriber is well below that.
