Ditching international fans

It always bothered me that they did not consider their international fans when they announced the streaming service and just unilaterally applied the value of $6 USD monthly fee for everyone. "Everyone can afford it?" $6 USD is like almost 8 dollars in CAD, and it's a huge chunk of my money.

Their international shipping has been incredibly expensive and unreliable. This could be the fault of the company they chose for the shipping, but there are constant streams of horror stories on the main sub about how they're paying $60 CAD just for shipping, how they still haven't received their package, etc.

I would really like to know their statistics because I wonder if the whole streaming thing was worth losing all the international fans.
