Netflix discontinues DVD-by-mail subscription service.

Netflix is discontinuing its DVD subscription business after 25 years of sending discs of movies and TV shows to people through the mail. While most Netflix users have long since migrated to the online streaming service, the DVD option had a small but loyal fan base of those who prefer watching physical DVDs, have spotty internet connections, or were looking for some content not available on the usual streaming players. Financially, the move makes sense for Netflix, thanks to the downturn in customers using the older technology. DVD rentals brought in $145.7 million in revenue in 2022, down from $182.3 million in 2021.
