Paramount wanted WB so badly because that much original IP under one banner might have been enough to make their streaming service a viable competitor for Netflix, which is the same reason Netflix worked so hard to stop it happening. Now, they're going to remain the only game in town, and that means they don't have to give a shit about the quality of their content: just the volume.
In terms of subs, they are somewhat comparable, but not in terms of actual minutes watched. How many of those D+ subscribers barely use it, or are just using it as a babysitter while they make dinner? Netflix is absolutely dominating Disney in terms of the actual watch hours.

Eh 300 million Netflix vs 200 million Disney + Hulu (Disney owns Hulu now).
Netflix would be in deep shit if Disnay wasn't Disgay.
Hulu actually had some good shows with attractive actors before Disney, probably not anymore though.
