After more than two decades, Netflix is officially ending its DVD-by-mail service. The company announced in a blog post that it will no longer accept new DVD-by-mail subscribers as of today, and existing subscribers will be phased out over the next few weeks.
Netflix started as a DVD-by-mail service in 1998, and it wasn't until 2007 that the company introduced its streaming service. Since then, the streaming service has become the company's primary focus, with the DVD-by-mail service taking a back seat.
The DVD-by-mail service was once a major part of Netflix's business, and it helped the company grow into the household name it is today. But as streaming became more popular, the DVD-by-mail service became less relevant. In recent years, the company has been phasing out the service, and now it's finally coming to an end.
For those who still rely on the DVD-by-mail service, the news may come as a disappointment. But for most Netflix users, it's unlikely to make much of a difference. Streaming has become the norm, and it's hard to imagine going back to the days of waiting for a DVD to arrive in the mail.

Netflix's decision to end the DVD-by-mail service is a reflection of the changing times. Streaming has become the dominant form of entertainment, and it's clear that the future of home entertainment is online. While DVDs may still have a place in some people's hearts, it's clear that they're no longer a major part of the entertainment landscape.
As the DVD-by-mail service comes to an end, it's worth taking a moment to appreciate the role it played in Netflix's history. Without it, the company may not have become the powerhouse it is today. But as the company moves forward, it's clear that streaming is the future, and Netflix is leading the way.
