Is that why Netflix killed video stores? I don't know anyone who used it when it had DVD rentals (I don't even know if we had that option in Canada).
Myself and most people I know stopped renting videos when we could stream stuff easily.
- vehemenz 4y agoI think you might be an outlier. Netflix DVD rental was huge in the US—can't speak for Canada though. Everyone I know had it.
- ghaff 4y agoYeah, it was big although it worked better for film than TV. I wish it were still bigger. The fact that so many people seem to think that just renting a physical disk is something weird means that they're really not investing in restocking older films any longer.

- Arrath 4y agoSame. It was a chore to churn through the discs and watch whole seasons of shows like the X-files, but by god we did it.
