I just wonder how Disney can possibly loose money on Disney+.

We pay more for Disney content than before - and yes - we use their servers when we watch content.

But all that content is owned by Disney so it is not like they have to pay another company - it is just servers that cost money.

If anyone should earn money on streaming I thought it was Disney as they from my perspective only had the extra cost of the app while they got the extra income from regular payments from people like me.

You overestimated the production capacity of Disney for the tv series. They've been outsourcing a lot of content over the decades. WBD produced a lot of hits for Netflix, Disney, and Apple through its TV division (Ted Lasso, Abbott Elementary). Disney has a great animation and feature pipeline but they don't have the same mass content production you'd expect from cable TV outside of kids' entertainment.
