    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Netflix won’t charge DVD.com customers for any discs they still have after September 29th, the company announced from its DVD.com account on X on Monday.

    That generous offer, combined with Netflix’s recent announcement that it may send customers as many as 10 extra discs from their queues, means that some people might end up with a bunch of disc copies of movies, courtesy of Netflix.

    DVD.com customers will need to visit a special link on DVD.com by August 29th to apply for the promotional offer.

    Netflix will then send up to 10 random discs based on the movies in the subscriber’s queue.

    Netflix first announced its plans to sunset its DVD subscription service in April, marking an end to the DVD shipping business that originally launched the company that’s since become a streaming giant.

    It’s going to ship out the last round of discs on September 29th.

      If the summary is just as long what’s the point?

        I prefer reading the TLDR instead of clicking into the article, opening a new tab, having to deal with all the cookie popups. AutoTLDR is just raw text.

        What’s the point of writing a 147-word article? These news “articles” are getting so short that they add no value to the content they steal.

          How much longer do you expect it to be? It pretty concisely summed up the entire situation. If it was any longer I would feel like they were just padding it out.

        Didn’t need to leave my app 😁

        Although that short article is a bit of a wasted chatgpt API call for Rikudou who covers its cost 🥲

        Edit: pretty sure this used to use chatgpt to create the summary, however it appears not to anymore
