“Netflix had a great idea with it’s DVD rentals and then it went streaming”
Seems that was the original plan: knowing that _someday_ internet speeds would be high enough to support high-quality movie streaming, Netflix jumped the holding-pattern competition by starting the DVD-by-mail service. Someone recognized the old aphorism “never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of magnetic tapes”. Over time, streaming became viable and the DVD service waned (BTW: has it died entirely yet?).
Remember when Netflix tried to separate their mailing movies into ‘Qwikster’.
They have the stink of being run by 20 year old purple haired females.
My dad still has the Netfix DVD service because of internet speeds and cost for data where he lives. He mostly watches television with an antenna.
