Hierbij gaat het om de abonnees van een tijdschrift. De tekst stelt dat de kwaliteit van de instroom is verbeterd. Waarom gaat het hier?

English translation:quality of new subscriptions
Explanation:
I would leave it as neutral as the Dutch. "Instroom" likely means new subscribers, but rather than qualifying the people, I'd use subscribers. Perhaps they mean that people who sign up actually pay.

I mean I'd use *subscriptions rather than subscribers.

I'd use *subscriptions (not subscribers)

I just saw that freekfluweel also suggested this. Why do proz users now post everything in discussion entries rather than as suggested answers?
