It's Time for Netflix to Kill Its DVD Service
I did something this summer I thought I would never do: I canceled my Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) DVD service. I had been a subscriber to the optical discs by mail platform since 2002, and it inspired me to be a shareholder over the past 18 years. I'll never forget how important Netflix has been to my portfolio in that time, but I just wasn't using the physical service anymore.
I realized that I had been holding on to my Netflix copy of Jackie for more than a month. I just didn't have the desire to fire up the DVD player that I rarely use now. I had forgotten why I even had the urge to see a Jackie O. biopic, and the only reason it had bubbled up to the top of my queue was because I had run out of stuff to put in there in recent years. Those red mailers used to matter to me. They used to matter to Netflix. Times have changed, and maybe it's time for Netflix to move on as well.
