This is the first I'm hearing of this and it makes me sad.
I'm one of those weirdos still doing the DVD mailing because I'm fine having to plan ahead on what to watch and enjoy not having to play the stupid game of checking 17 services to see which had a given piece of media available.
It is so nice just being able to get whatever I want via dvd.
It was mostly just free money for them since I would only get one or two movies mailed a month and was paying way more than I was costing them.
Now I'm just going to cancel the subscription and find... ways... of getting that same content on my plex server.
YAAARRRRR!
People in rural areas probably loved it
@@tylerdurden788 Yes. That's why we got it 10+ years ago. When your speed is up to 750 KBPS, you can't really stream. I've got better connection now, but the collection of DVDs is really good.
Yar har fiddle di dee
Funny how they don't realize they are pretty much asking people to put their hats on and sail the seas.
half price books has cheap dvds for sale.
Honestly they should just change the website to allow u to buy the DVDs for the next like year or two then after a certain amount of time if no ones bought them donate the rest to libraries/schools and if there's any left over after that find a recycler boom solved with pretty minimal effort honestly if they just use EBAY to sell the DVDs
Netflix? Donating? 😂
@FinnishArmy lmao I know but I can have some hope in humanity 😅
Local libraries for renting out. Could probably do it as a tax write off
@@FinnishArmythey could claim it back as a tax break.
As a random person on internet making tht suggestion sure. But as a business why?
Donate the collection to small libraries. This could be a huge boost for them.
Netflix should just reopen their DVD selling service that they offered at the very very beginning except once a DVD is out, it’s out. They’d get big money out of it.
my grandma who passed away last year would be devastated by this news. She didn’t have internet and my mom would order movies she wanted to see for her. It was like her favorite thing in the world
I'm fairly distraught myself. 😭
I think this is a shame because I have been meaning to backup the special features such as audio commentary, deleted scenes, and alternate endings. Streaming sites, at this time, do not provide bonus features like this and it can be tragic if it fades away over time.
Prime Video usually does
Yeah i think here's a lot of lost media on dvds and websites from back in the day that wasn't backed up or archived properly.
It's why copyright laws need to be redone to have a significantly shorter "shelf life" and be more focused on business to business infringement rather than consumer infringement.
I would love to have a bunch of the old Disney Channel original movies, but they really aren't available anywhere, there are a few DVDs floating around 2nd hand sites for sale but it's highly limited what you can get.
If there is content you are passionate about you should rip it from the DVD & upload it for everyone, have a dedicated seedbox out of an old desktop computer.
I think compensation of the actual creators should also be reorganized somehow for the actual creators to benefit from the good things they actually create rather than rich people buying "rights" to things and then getting richer from it while negatively affecting others.
I used to love picking out dvd's to have mailed to us with my mom, it felt like a family movie night where now its more common for us to be on separate screens streaming.
Weird, companies acting like this is all guaranteed to come crashing down, and thus they need to squeeze every drop of blood from the stone while they can, is causing the stone to start crumbling.
Who could possibly have seen this coming 😐
what will crash?
gotta love self-fullfilling profecies
For anyone looking for an actual replacement service, Gamefly actually does offer DVD and Blu-ray movies, and has cheaper plans for just those.
Do you have it? Are there enough titles to watch routinely?
@@kngrfdegj5940 I do but I've not bothered to use the movies aspect. They seem to have a pretty up to date collection kinda like Redbox.
I gotta say, 2023 is looking like a mighty fine year for piracy, all these companies don’t seem to realize what made Netflix great at first (not even Netflix), and that is it had **everything** the consumer wanted available to it. Now everyone and their kid brother wants to run a streaming service so instead of paying for 9 services to watch everything we wanna watch, we either will service hop, or find a truck for the content to fall out the back of.
For a time.
In the early-mid years they didn't have SHIT. Or if they did, the mail service was the only way to get it.
That's why the Americas are banning VPNs
N original content 🙃🙃🙃 they forgot they suppose to be an agrigator
I lived in a national forest with no internet from 2017-2021. I used Netflix mail in during that time. It helped me deal with the harsh and dark winters. R.I.P. Greenville California 😥
I still have DVD service (for now). Just about everything is available on DVD, where some titles are either not streaming or are on services I don't have (or want). Very disappointing to see this go away.
I cancelled my netflix account when every company decided to make their own streaming services and split all the content between all of them, now I sometimes have disney+ because our local eBay gifts it to us whenever we buy something big, and prime video because my husband buys lots of stuff from amazon and takes advantage of prime shipping, but being honest we don't watch them often, being how the current landscape is right now I'm willing to say Cuevana is my friend nowadays
But DVD Netlfix still had content from all the studios and you could rent everything new and old (except for some streaming exclusives) for less than $3 per movie, which is cheaper than most individual streaming rentals. There was never an incentive for me to switch to streaming unless it was an exclusive title or I didn't want to wait for my next disc.
@@kngrfdegj5940 not in Mexico, you can't rent dvd's here that was only for you fancy americans
I cancelled my Netflix when they raised the price and just billed me a new amount after promising to never raise it.
@@bbking006 the dvd service?
@@kngrfdegj5940 No, just the streaming service. This was like 2013, IIRC
As a 17 year old, I actually used it with my family for a while. Pretty damn useful actually, because sometimes I don't want to pay 10 bucks for a single month for a service that only has 3 movies that I want to watch. 5 bucks to get 8 movies a month is a great alternative to it, and it was just nice. But, at this point, going RM8Y is basically the best solution because I don't want to pay Hulu just to watch a single movie a month. Which is sad.
It’s a shame they’re getting rid of DVD service the selection is way better than using the app
In Seattle there's actually one remaining video rental store. Scarecrow Video. They've managed to stay in business by having a ridiculously large collection of hard-to-find movies. Offer something you can't get anywhere else, and it turns out the rest of your business model doesn't matter that much.
In the UK you can rent/borrow DVDs from local libraries.
I'm pretty sure most libraries in the US also let you do that. Our local library had a small DVD section and an even smaller section of Blurays. They charged 50 cents per DVD per day and like 1.50 per Blu ray per day
It's also easy to pick up cheap DVDs or Blurays from charity shops in the UK
And a huge chunk of remain subs will be cancelling as a direct result.
The selection was so big that even as a Canuck I knew people who used it because it was the easiest way to truly see a wide selection of film.
Yes, it's a total shutdown of the service 😭
Netflix should donate the remaining disks to libraries, that way as many people as possible can continue to enjoy the content. Honestly I think libraries represent the best solution to this kind of problem of hard-to-access media.
Anyone who is asking "it existed?" - it only ever was available in US, of course.
I wonder if I'm the only one that hates that 'Ta-Dum!' sound with the logo at the beginning of every Netflix video?
It's obnoxious. I usually ff over that at the beginning. I know some people seem to like it tho.
@@danieldavis3035 Same
There's a chrome store app that autoskips the ta-dum
Eh, idm the tadum
Tho I'm a freak who loves the THX sound so
@@thepenguin9 In the cinema with a great sound system, that and the Sony surround test are amazing xd
I just wish all these platforms could offer a higher bit-rate. I don't have any fancy home theater or anything, I watch films on a normal 1080p monitor. But the shitty video quality of streaming is very clear. So even though I have access to both Netflix and HBO Max, I still pirate most my stuff even though I can stream it.
plus streaming content automatically lowers or raises based on your connection quality. there should be a way to check the resolution and bitrate you're getting
I like DVD's for older stuff that never got bluray or remaster, I watch them on my CRT. Netflix DVD really was the best way to get obscure and unavailable titles. Whatever they didn't have, like old anime, I'd just burn myself. For example, for a time, NF was the only place I could find the BBC hitchhiker guide to the galaxy discs.
Honestly shocked they were still doing this in 2023, thought they scrapped this a long time ago.
I like buying physical media for movies and tv shows. There have been times where a show simply disappeared off multiple streaming services and I just can't easily find it anymore. Having a physical copy at least make it possible for me to go back and watch it again if I want (which happens when I'm feeling down). Netflix doesn't offer blu-ray versions of all their shows that they produce so having a local copy is just impossible unless it's through less than legal means. Season 1 of Altered Carbon will always be one of my favorite show and I'm annoyed that I can't have a official copy of it.
So true.
I've really tried to find a few titles on streaming, VoD, I've even searched the world via VPN. I eventually bought a DVD but I had to use a region free player (I'm in Australia). So many movies I want to see but are simply not available because reasons.
Why can't obscure Movies and TV use the Spotify model, no rights bought just cash when someone wants to see your product ... that's better than nothing.
Whether its games or movies, if someone isn't readily available at a FAIR price, then.....ARRRR MATES!!
it's kind of odd we feel entitled to content created by others. just because something exists doesn't mean we have the right to access it or can determine what a "fair" price would be
@@kngrfdegj5940 Then they can make content for themselves only and not release it.
Noooo. This is the only way to see many movies.
Also, most of the rarer ones never got returned once the street price went above the penalties Netflix charged.
Wonder what happened to DVDs like Primer that had a manufacturing defect, all the discs would skip in one spot. 🤷♂️
Scarecrow video in Seattle!!! They have mail order, though they're working on a much needed website update.
Honestly for users without the internet, which is still a LOT of people. This is a very sad thing
I loved Netflix DVD back in the day. That and our local library was how I saw a tone of movies we didn't own.
I've never understood why HBO didn't lean into their adult-only brand, there are plenty of *amazing* shows that are rated for mature audiences.
you can't sell it to most family households because most parents etc don't have enough/any time to watch content entirely without the young'uns around
you can't sell it to most older folks because sensibilities and tastes are usually too different
you'll never be able to license it cuz the edits necessary for television, even primetime, would be impossible, so there's no future in that regard
if it isn't a cultural phenomena like GoT or Breaking Bad, it usually won't break out of the 18-45 childless demographics
Libraries and interlibrary loan are excellent tools for getting hold of odd and different movies, especially if you're in a sizeable metro area with a good library system.
Mailman here
A lot of old people in my town. The Netflix CDs are everywhere.
Thank goodness it's over with I hated seeing those lmao
did it really cause you more work?
@@kngrfdegj5940 No but for some reason when people want to send the DVD back they never liked putting their red flag up as if Netflix was telling them they didn't have to maybe? Haha people will put outgoing mail in their box and not put the flag up we don't see that sometimes it just looks like normal mail to us so they get bitchy when we don't take the DVDs sometimes
Apparently they aren't worried about what they will do with their disc library since they are still procuring new releases even after the announcement of the end of the business.
Knowing the details, it's profoundly disappointing to hear Linus say he's not "weighing in to the controversy", when it involves her siding with those calling for the literal extermination of trans people and others. I give him the benefit of the doubt that he hasn't looked into what he's referring to, but that's the only reason I feel it's acceptable to refuse to "weigh in"
Huge shame. Also, I'm probably one of the few who would buy a pair of DVDs for whatever show I want to see instead of just renting it. But hey, I suppose that would that would ruin Netflix's whole business model.
they cant rewrite history when its allready on disk.
Yep, that's why I'm holding onto as many VCD, DVDs, and Blu-Rays as I can afford to do so, and safely store that I, or someone in my family might want to watch in the future, along with a few backup Blu-Ray players that can play all 3 formats that have easy to service drive belts, and lasers.
and it's less likey you would be spied on or experience a DoS attack
I don't understand why they didn't continue to advertise this? They very quietly sunset it over the past decade. They basically hid the service. I guess they thought the overhead was too much and wanted to transfer everyone to the more profitable streaming model, all while avoiding controversy/blow back.
Wow, I honestly didn't know they were still doing this either?
I would have used it just to get access to movies that I can't find elsewhere. There are soooo many amazing movies that rarely/never make it onto streaming services :/
LOL, this may be my favorite conversation of all time! I agree with everything you all said. I’m a faithful DVD Netflix customer and I am in denial about losing them. They sent me a birthday package full of presents and gave all the customers free DVDs at the end. Best company ever. I hope Netflix brings them back. ❤️📀🎬
What the problem is, is not addressing cost of living instead of peoples wages for currency that is not backed by anything
My understanding is theyre trying to distance themselves from hbo because that carries with it an expectation of quality, and they want to fill the service with more garbage
That sounds about right. They’re already on that downward trend. Might as well lean into the “trash service for trash people” concept.
@@smileychess Sounds like most TV in general
my dad was still using it to get some really good movies that would have cost money on other streaming services to watch. I am sure its gonna be a conversation if he wants to go back to making them from things like bittorrent
Wanting a product that should rightfully be in sale.
SO morally bankrupt.
Most new movies aren't even available on streaming services or they're very expensive to rent digitally. I heard redbox was disappearing and thought, at least I'll still have Netflix. Everyone I talk to is always surprised when I tell them it exists still and I use it, but when I ask them how they watch new movies legally, their answer is always pirate, spend more money, or they don't watch movies.
Redbox still exists and even offered to buy DVD Netflix, but they won't sell 😔
I guy I work for has no Internet and is no way internet savy, been slowly working on getting him a dvd collection .. gave him a usb stick in the back of his tv... 😳
Between price hikes on streaming and shit like this, we be sailin' on the high seas matey!
Never stopped. If it is not on my disk I can be sure I can use it later.
I recently went back to DVDs when I wanted to watch Doctor Who without subscribing to HBO Max.
Libraries are a treasure trove for DVDs, at least where I am.
I mean at least in the United States, public libraries usually have some selection of DVDs that can be checked out for free with a library card.
Moved to a rather mid sized town that's large enough to have about 4 small public libraries and each have their own section of DVDs ranging close to 2,000 titles, seasons, etc., Obviously not gonna have the same wide selection as Netflix once had but it seems it's something people don't seem to know about.
You could legitimately create a decently sized content server with all the TV shows and movies available.
But driving to the library every week or more is a lot less convenient.
@@kngrfdegj5940 sure but you only need to drive if you live in a large city. And large cities have better funded libraries with more selection making it worth it. Additionally all you have to do is ask for an extension instead of having to return things in a week or two.
@@SomeRandomMario Libraries also offer free movies and books over special streaming services like Kanopy, Libby and Hoopla. Have you looked into those?
I didn't even know they were still doing DVDs. That's crazy. I don't have enough free time these days and it's hard to justify the cost just to rip/burn because storage is so cheap now.
As far as the collection goes, selling to someone like Drafthouse, or the last Blockbuster in Bend Oregon makes sense. Otherwise, perhaps donating to the Internet Archive for example (I have no idea if they accept DVDs).
In the future, an app should exist which combines all the different providers of streaming services. You could search all their collective movie/series in same app/search box and when something isn't available in your current subscription plan, you could either rent it for a day (standard sub plan should include a few of these tokens per month) or subscribe for 1 week/month to new straming service. the streaming should still happen from the side of Netflix/disney/.....
Or maybe based on which stream provider you chose, by the end of the month defines how much money goes to who. That way they would try to make good series/movies.
Back to the real world. None of this will happen, people will start pirating. They will start locking people up again. Industry and people will suffer.
Oh no... My 80 year old parents are NOT going to be happy about this! It's all well and good for technical folks like us, but realistically, for folks not technically inclined, living on a fixed income, subscribing to--and subsequently trying to understand and figure out how to use--multiple streaming services is NOT a viable option.
My father, 80 this year, is still an active consultant in the Wireless industry, but at the same time, he's also had a monthly AOL subscription active since 1989. Ultimately, he'll figure something out, but I'm gonna get a LOT of phonecalls. Thanks, Netflix. :P
I think what needs to happen is that all these companies come together and create one streaming platform for everything one price for everything
but then it would be one big monopoly the government wouldn't allow or would try to break up.
@@kngrfdegj5940 technically it's not a monopoly all the company's come together because it's not just one company doing it would be all of them
@@kobirelf97 then that would be collusion!
Donate them to libraries! Also go to libraries to get free media
0:33 For me it's the broader selection of more obscure titles. I hope this means more streaming movies. I like how I have a much larger variety of movies I could rent with the DVD/Blu-Ray rentals.
Redbox is seriously interested in that business...
I love your discussions about this and the availability of DVDs and not wanting to pay streaming services. Good discussions!
With some more obscure titels your only options are mostly buying a used dvd for 50 bucks, many became colectables now, or just get it from some other source
The thing about a Harry Potter TV series is there's room to actually capture everything in the books. Books 3-6 movies were basically only the important halves of each novel, and a TV show could actually bring them fully to life. I still haven't had a chance to watch the 7th Movies, but I know being a double feature, they had more time to show everything.
This is generally why I prefer TV shows over movies. That being said it does still feel just a bit too soon imo.
They are just going to fill it full of woke idiocracy so it won't be worth watching.
I mean the 7th might have been a double feature but I feel they wasted a lot of screen time.
I live in shit-hole country South Africa, and I have high speed, reliable fiber internet. I didn't know that this was a thing. We only have electricity available 50% of the time.
It’s like how some games die because they won’t make it easy to get
We will be complaining they have all merged into a monopoly soon enough....
Imagine they split music on different services like they do it with movies today in a few years.
or any product or brand sold exclusively at separate stores. crazy!
i watched a guys bag get checked by TSA in an airport recently because he had CD's in his bag. The woman had no idea what it was, she was like, what is this donut shaped thing in your bag? i told her, ancient technology prob brought over by aliens.
@bruh tbh it sounds kinda unlikely
Its unlikely someone as young as 18 would be working TSA, and CDs were absolutely commonplace at the time a 20 year old was a child
Or especially that they wouldn't recognize a DISC. Blurays are literally still being made and physical video games still exist.
The 2000s weren't THAT long ago yet
Was she from the Amish community?
Piracy is not an issue of price, its an issue of availability!
Been ended in the UK for a few years now, when I had a PS3 I had Linux on it use to rent blu-rays from them then rip them via the PS3 the moved them to my PC then ship them back 😂, was so gutted when Sony removed Other OS support 😅
...which is why I buy my movies on Googles storefront, on sale, to avoid chasing digital media rights. I saw this happening a few years back and decided to stop buying each streaming service for bs content that rotates. If I want a show or new movie, I bootleg it initially and watch it. Then, if it's good, only then buy it when it becomes available. Sad part is, none of the streaming provider exclusives or membership only media are available on Google this way. Which in essence, still legitimizes piracy if media rights and greed get in the way, us consumers suffer. I'd rather "own" my digital collection and watch it on YT anywhere, than having to mess with shared accounts, etc.
I'm all for capitalism, but if it hinders the consumer regardless, it's just a useless way to bilk ppl out of their hard earned money in a time where inflation is only getting worse and content seems to be more gender/political/eco lecturing, rather than being about entertainment.
I canceled all of my subscriptions. It’s too much.
The twilight movies were good adaptations, if you read the books you'll realise that the movies are very faithful adaptations of the books, the books were just kind of trashy teen romance. There is no point trying to remake them because you'd literally have to rewrite the story to make a better movie
AAARRRRRR!!! Tis time for the seas to know their masters once more. HOIST THE COLORS!!!🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
I canceled all streaming . Netflix. Disney. Nowtv a while ago as in a world where everything is hd. They try make us pay extra to watch something in hd. Why is that not just in the basic
I agree nothing should be lower than 1080p unless your internet connection just can't handle it, and isps should always provide enough bandwidth for it anyway
Only issue with the black flag is stream quality. Its almost always 480p or 720p. Never higher. Unless someone knows of a better place 👀😂
If they remake Princess Bride I will never give the people involved my business ever again. What the heck man!
Something I recently found out about that I hate is that Showtime has removed some of it's shows like Penny Dreadful: City of Angels and there is no way to stream it legally at this point. Like what the fuck, of course people are just going to pirate it.
My cousins still use it they live in the sticks without good internet ...also has a small data cap
He really should see if he can get T-Mobile 5G Home internet, or Verizon 5G Fixed wireless, as I switched to T-Mobile earlier this year to save money, and I'm pulling down on average 200Mbps - 600Mbps/50Mbps - 150Mbps with pings of 16ms - 60ms on the high end for $50 a month with unlimited data, and this is in a simi rural part of S. Carolina. the only downsides have been placement of the Gateway to get signal, and the way they dump my IP out in other cities like Atlanta which is the closest I've gotten, sometimes Washington DC, Nashville, or Louisiana causing me to have to reboot the gateway, plus having to go into my YT TV setting on my phone to get proper local channels for sports.
My cousin only subscribed to Netflix for the DVD documentaries. You can be sure he's not going to continue his subscription.
I still have a rental DVD from about 15 years ago. Can't remember how the deal ended, maybe it was a pay per switch.
I'm so glad that Linus brought up the way he follows sports somewhat despite his lack of personal interest because it's virtually the only way to make small talk with people. This obsession with watching sports (not playing sports with your friends, mind you) is a plague upon society, and politicians wouldn't have it any other way. Sports serve as a major distraction from corrupt politics in any country. People don't protest or write to their elected officials when they're busy watching the game.
Twilight: Just watch anything "Underworld", even the later ones. - Frickin' Michael Sheen is even in both franchises.
awe, I was thinking about doing the DVD service again... oh well, it was only a matter of time. I think I gave up on it when they were shrinking their library and I couldn't get things so I just dropped it to save some bucks.
Why are people making it so hard to buy and purchase and watch movies? It’s crazy. It is left up to taping, recording, and piracy. It needs to be completely legalized to have DVD recorders again.
it's not that hard. Most people have good internet for streaming and other movies by mail services still exist.
They do make their content available. You can BUY THE DVDs. Renting isn’t the only way to get a DVD????
buying every new release would be expensive and not very practical
@@kngrfdegj5940 that’s what my family always used to do. You wouldn’t buy every new release but you’d keep the ones you want and sell the ones you didn’t. It also added value to the experience of watching a film rather than being able to watch as many as you want whenever you want. There’s also nothing stopping you from rewatching old ones. And honestly, if you’re watching every new movie when it comes out, you’ve got way too much time and need to get a job 😂
@@ThisWillCharacter 🤣 I need to see every movie!
thrift store/social store often have huge selections of dvds
it doesn't make sense to buy every movie. most of the time you just want to watch it once for a lower cost than buying it
The EU Suppressed a 300-Page Study That Found Piracy Doesn’t Harm Sales
The match ever forward towards a physical media less future where you own nothing, sad.
This sucks. It’s how I may or may not have built out my media server. Looks like I have to stay on top of Redbox from now on.
Yep. The content on my plex server somehow magically appeared when I put the Blu-Ray rentals from netflix and from a box that's red near it. Not sure how that happened....
Lawyers destroyed the field. Used netflix and amazon in the past to get shows in multiple licenses, now they only have English. I want multiple languages as a language learner. At least certain websites have it and I can keep the files for 10 years.
I prefer only physical movies/series, video games and music so I would buy them from a store
Libraries are a source of media and I would hope that Netflix would donate it's library to local library systems.
Egh, libraries are for books. Film and the movies are a different world and genre entirely and deserve its own place of respect.
Just cause Blurays exist doesn't mean DVD was just gonna die. DVD is very afforadable.
Also Netflix's DVD service does Blu too.
@@Coolman13355 Oh cool, I don't even know what shows or movies even supported that feature these days. I'm surprised it lasted this long though I thought Netflix killed this a decade ago or something like that.
@@Johnnyb167 most new releases were offered on standard Blu-rays but Netflix never upgraded to 4K Blurays 😢
Do you really think Netflix has stored all the original cases and inserts for these?
That costs money to store. Those dvds are consumables to them.
Plus, they probably didn't have lots of them. They probably bought just the discs from distributors or rights holders.
If a company does not want to make money from something you cant possibly be stealing anything if you pirate it.
There are still a lot of people who live outside major cities and have crappy internet. You’d be surprised.
"The Princess Bride" is as close to a perfect film as it gets, it should NEVER be remade.
ill stick to piracy id rather buy a can of coke then subscribe to any service, if i really want a physical ill just download the DVD-R and burn it to a disc
It is kind of sad to see that anyone owning physical movies is kind of obligated to rip and upload them in order for them to not get exctinct. Unfortunately, that is basically illegal anywhere but also necessary anywhere . :/
If Disney said to all the video streaming platforms bid for the licences, I guarantee they would have made a profit of at least 100 billion. They still could have had Disney plus, just allow the latest episodes to be streamable
Oh that sucks, It was awesome. You could in theory get a disk from netflix and rip the movie rom the disk. This is a crime but you can do it to preserve it.
