This is why I'm still surprised they separated out (and eventually killed) their disc-by-mail service. I understand the visceral feeling that discs are an antiquated relic—but you just can't beat that catalog.
Combining discs and streaming in one subscription provides customers with the best of both worlds. Need something to watch right now? No problem, we have an excellent streaming catalog and you're going to love Stranger Things! Want a specific movie or show, maybe Friends or The Lion King? We've got that too, it'll be in your mailbox in a couple days.
And if some customers choose to forgo either the digital or physical side of the package, it doesn't cost Netflix anything.
