I wonder if that means Redbox and other physical renters still have a chance of staying on.
I feel that if renting media still exists in the future, it would be a solid niche for physical media to exist for. I always imagine that one is more likely to watch Netflix DVD's that arrive in the mail, because it exists in physical form and are more of an "incentive" to customers to continue with their experience. Whereas I always see my friends with Netflix's streaming library on endlessly scrolling through it, unwilling to commit to watching any particular film or show. Is there a random function?
A physical rental is like an investment that you've already committed to.
