It turned out that Netflix started with renting DVDs. At that time, they were the online competitor of Blockbuster, which had about 10,000 stores in 2004. Now, Blockbuster is down to just one store in Oregon. Yet, the DVD rental market here in the states has not died. There’s a Redbox on every corner (about 40,000 in the country). Renting a movie costs from $1.75, which is cheaper than any streaming service. But they are dying out, of course.
