About once a year, we get a Netflix subscription for about two months. Catch up on everything we want to watch, then cancel it.

After 6 months, Netflix forgets about you. Does that mean we count as a new subscriber every year? How many people like us are inflating their new subscriber number?

One revenue source for FOSS projects is providing enterprise support, allowing you to outsource support.
