Netflix shuts down DVD service

"...competition from video streaming — including Netflix itself — led to a sharp decline in demand for DVD rentals, both from the company’s mail service and from neighborhood video stores.

Neflix’s DVD subscribers fell to 2.1 million by 2019, the last year the company reported that figure in public filings.

In 2019, the company celebrated shipping its 5 billionth DVD through the U.S. Mail.
