For now, Netflix says DVD rentals aren't going anywhere. They actually still receive about 50% of their profits from that part of the company (largely due to no advertising), and the DVD plans allow them to subsidizing a lot of the streaming and original content. But market experts say that if you look at the pattern of decline, we will likely see an end to the DVD plans in 5-8 years. Do you think Netflix will ever cancel their DVD service? Yes
