Yes - Blue Apron. Although not exclusively. But I don't exclusively consume media content from Netflix either.
> DVD/BlueRay gives a lot better experience than streaming
First, I often don't care about the video quality of the content I'm consuming. Sure if it is a sci-fi action film I want surround sound and 4k or whatever. But most the time, a degraded qualify for a standup act or period drama doesn't really matter nor is it noticeable to me. Also I can't really tell the difference as much on a tablet or phone rather than my big screen.
Second, the streaming services are cost constrained right now on the quality front, but it seems like that is improving and likely to change at some point in the not too distant future. And some of the services let you get higher quality, right now, just with additional cost.
Third, streaming is right now much more convenient in meaningful ways. It doesn't have the hassle of dealing with physical media (acquiring it, storing it, sorting through it, loading it, discarding/reselling). It provides access to a larger library of content on demand. It allows for seamless resumption of paused or interrupted viewings on different devices. Access if available for any internet connected location. Content is often available faster, such as within minutes of broadcast, rather than waiting for a delivery or next day to head to a store.
Fourth, with the exception of a few beloved films, most the content I watch isn't something I ever intend to watch again. Purchase just doens't make sense in that context.
