I've been wondering about all this tech and what's going to happen to it. Surely some other company would be interested in buying it and taking over where they left off. Maybe Redbox?

Now that streaming services are jacking up their prices and people and cancelling, it seems like a perfect time for a resurgence in physical media rental, ironically.

It's in the article (I don't mean to sound rude, if I did):

These last few hubs have been sending Netflix’s remaining DVD subscribers up to 10 extra discs during its final weeks of service, with no obligations to send any of them back. Netflix plans to donate a portion of its inventory to organizations focused on film and media, according to Zamora; the rest will be recycled.

I wish they'd just put them up on Amazon. I am pretty sure a good chunk could sell.
