Netflix Says Goodbye to DVDs
Netflix's DVD unit is being shut down on September 29, 2023. This is after 25 years of service, and is a sign of the changing times.
Netflix started out as a DVD rental service in 1997, but it quickly expanded into streaming video in 2007. The streaming service quickly became more popular than the DVD rental service, and the number of DVD subscribers has been declining ever since.
In 2023, Netflix still had an estimated 1.1 million to 1.3 million DVD rental subscribers, but this is a small fraction of its total subscriber base of over 220 million. The company has decided to shut down its DVD unit in order to focus on its streaming business.
