The DVD subscription service is still far better than the streaming service if you actually want to watch recent or not-so recent Hollywood content. The streaming service has lost most of its mainstream catalog, in favor of original content.

The physical disc catalog seems to be culled as well by not replacing lost/broken discs. My saved queue seldom gets any smaller.

People ask me why I still get discs, and the answer is "guaranteed bandwidth". I get no blockiness or drop-outs when watching. :)

I don't get blockiness or drop-outs either via streaming. My ISP forced Netflix to pay their peering tax, though.
