Zedzed: They are looking at the wrong thing.
As you know from working in the cellphone industry, subscribers don't really mean anything. The question is a) how much money did you spend to get them, and b) how much money are you making off of them.
Netflix spends almost $0 to get them, and we have high prices that means we make a lot of $$$ off of them.
Disney got subscribers fast, but at a huge loss.
Most of the smart folks have now figure out that Netflix is the only streaming company that's actually making a profit. All the others are running at a loss to catch up.
