I wonder if Netflix DVDs going away will create a market for some of those small businesses again.

  It’s conceivable given the laughable behavior of streaming services lately (e.g. HBO removing recent flagship original content from its streaming service is just ludicrous). Of course if it became common again it would probably be met with a new era of IP lawsuits, even though it seemed to have been settled previously. Oh, and it would likely only be doable legally with content that had a legitimate physical media release, which is becoming somewhat rare.

  I wonder if we’ll see a group of Netflix employees take their hoarded cash comp and buy out the business from Netflix to make a go of it. Probably more likely that Redbox will soak up most of the business and we’ll lose out on the interesting long-tail part of this.
