"Netflix's DVD Service: A Numbers Game and Mini-Documentaries on a Dead Site"

Netflix has announced the end of its DVD-by-mail service, which had been rebranded as DVD.com. While many may view this as the end of an era, for some subscribers, the service played a vital role during the pandemic lockdown. One user, in particular, embarked on a marathon of Martin Scorsese's movies, finding solace in the rolling queue of DVDs. As the DVD operation comes to a close, Netflix has shared statistics from its 25-year run, including the shipment of 5.2 billion discs since 1998.
