Instead of having cable, I used to rent or buy movies. It’s no fun to rent now and the terms and duration suck and it’s hard to get a physical copy now so you’re tied to some service for life if you “buy”

Netflix still offers their original service that got them started and helped them wipe out Blockbuster and other competition: DVD's in the mail. https://dvd.netflix.com/

Did we just have a poor DVD player or are scratched disks a problem for everyone using this service?

You can still buy physical copies. BR are actually super cheap now that nobody buys them. I'd rather pay to truly own my movies.
