Oh man: Netflix has officially terminated its main business!

There are people who do not know the Netflix platform. If you have never even been a subscriber until now, you may have been aware of the content prepared specifically for the platform and tried to watch these contents through other platforms in “secret” ways. Today, the situation is a little different. Would you believe us if we said that Netflix has terminated its real business? Yes, when you check from the side tab, the platform is still open, but it no longer offers DVD rentals. Here are the details…

The Netflix DVD rental era is over! So when did Netflix start renting DVDs?

If you live in America and are a movie fan, it is highly likely that you rented DVDs from Netflix in the 90s and 2000s. Yes, the platform actually started by being adopted from a DVD rental service. When we go back to those times, you may remember that every neighborhood in Turkey had a CD player. The platform was making this system “without piracy, by renting method”.

Before DVD and Blu-Ray technologies, there were VHS tapes. It was quite difficult to get these tapes and copy them. Since it is very costly to purchase, businesses that do cassette rental business have emerged in many regions. Of course, after these, we met DVD and Blu-Ray. It has now become very easy to get copies of these products on CD.

At that time, Netflix thought about the future and thought that it should switch to an internet platform. For this reason, in addition to renting DVDs, it also started broadcasting to people over the internet with a paid subscription. Time passed, calendars ended, DVD popularity decreased, but the popularity of internet broadcasting increased. Meanwhile, Netflix took its place among the biggest with a very good commercial breakthrough.

But yesterday, the activities of Netflix, which is now a DVD rental business, stopped. Netflix sent a final DVD to its subscribers and immortalized this situation with a YouTube video. The video shows the platform’s DVD rental system, the red envelopes in which the DVDs are sent, and the moments when the renters clean the DVDs with wet wipes.

In short, Netflix has actually finished its real job. As of the coming period, it will continue with internet broadcasting only. So what do you think? Don’t forget to express your opinions in the comments section…
