No, no. What I said was that it could have made more money. EG, it would
have likely not lost so many users that the extra cash wouldn't have made it
up. Using fake numbers:

$10 fee, keep $5, 200,000 users: $1 million in profit per month.
$20 fee, keep $15, 100,000 users: $1.5 million in profit per month.
