Disney Plus is actually profitable now too. But your point still stands.

Yes but they have yet to prove they can deliver consistent growth while also being profitable. That’s the Netflix secret sauce

They’ve been profitable for 10 months now and growing very rapidly since their inception.

But yes, they need to keep that up for a few more years to get on the same level as Netflix. But then again, this is Disney we're talking about.

Sort of different for Disney though I feel since their catalog is full of culture landmarks and they have the seemingly unique part of it being pretty big for children

Yeah, nobody has a 1st-party catalogue quite like Disney.

HBO for adult males is really strong based on their TV catalog, but Disney has so much for kids and adults I think it covers most demographics
