Netflix Ends DVD Rental Service After 25 Years of Operation

Netflix is shutting down its DVD rental service on September 29th.
The DVD service generated $145.7 million in revenue last year and had between 1.1 million and 1.3 million subscribers.
Netflix shipped over 5 billion discs to subscribers since launching the service in 1998.
The DVD service boasted more than 16 million subscribers in 2011 before declining due to the rise of streaming services.
A small but loyal fan base will miss the service, which offered content not available on streaming platforms and served those with spotty internet connections.
