Believe it or not, there are even VHS and DVD rental places still out there, yes the kind with a wall lined with shelves of VHS cassettes and another with DVD cases.
The margins may be slim, but there are still takers. Just because a technology is a generation or two behind doesn't mean it's not in use.

- adventured 6y agoThere used to be one near me that managed to survive - until a few years ago - several decades through a lot of changes in the industry. What finally killed it off were four or five Redbox kiosks being placed within a 10-15 minute drive, at various foot traffic commercial locations. That wiped out a lot of the new releases disc rental business for the store and that was enough to tip them over (certainly the huge gains by Netflix, Prime, Apple, Roku in streaming since then might have done it just the same regardless).
