Netflix Bids Farewell to Famous Red Envelopes
Netflix recently announced plans to shut down its DVD rental service in the fall of 2023. While the company is now best known for its online streaming platform and original content, the company was initially founded as a mail-based DVD rental service. Even though the company transitioned into streaming, it has continued to offer DVD rentals.
In a blog post, Ted Sarandos, the co-CEO of Netflix, stated that the DVD market has continually shrunk over the years. This has made it increasingly difficult for the company to maintain its DVD rental service. As a result, the last of the company’s famous red envelopes will be mailed out on September 29.
