Netflix is ending its DVD mail-order services after a successful 25-year run, another sign of the company adapting as the streaming wars rage on.
It is the end of an era as Netflix announces they will be ending their DVD-by-mail business. Netflix began its mail-order DVD services in 1998. The success that Netflix had in this area contributed to Blockbuster and other video rental stores being forced to go out of business, along with the success Netflix had via the streaming options they provided. Even as streaming became more widespread and Netflix began producing their own original content, they continued to keep their DVD-by-mail option.
This ends an unprecedented 25-year run and the end of the business model that enabled Netflix to excel in the first place, long before streaming movies and television shows even existed. As for why Netflix is ending their DVD business, they had the following to say in their FAQ:
