I'm not sure that subscribers reduced for the reasons you state, I think Netflix is correct that it's lost subscribers as it's upped its prices. In the US, Netflix is highly successful as there are weak public FTA channels. Outside the US, it's a far more competitive market.
In what respect does Netflix not listen to its customers? It is trying to acquire content on a global basis but it won't get any content suppliers to sign deals with it if it doesn't abide by regional rights.

When that happens (and that is likely to be at least a decade away), the likes of Netflix will indeed be able to deliver big audiences.
That's an interesting hypothesis, and I don't mean it sarcastically.
