You aren't wrong with this theory. It's why betamax and hd-dvd lost too
Oh fuck, i completely forgot about betamax and HD-DVD. Back in Uni I wrote a 20 page paper about failed formats. I sent my first draft to my professor for feedback. He called me in and asked "Have you thought about porn?" I bet my facial expression must have been priceless.
That's a myth. Betamax lost because it couldn't record long enough. Movies had to be on two tapes. By the time they finally extended the time VHS was already dominant
Also licensing out the VHS format to 3rd party manufacturers also played a not insignificant role in beating Betamax. More conpanies making more VHS machines won a lot of the battle.
So it's twice as difficult to hide your porn on betamax then VHS?
Now this is redditing. Nothing like posting a wrong answer to get the correct one. But also, some random youtuber? I'm going to need far more evidence before I throw away decades of wisdom
Technology Connections isn't just some random youtuber. It's a guy who can make an hour-long video about a cheap fridge and make a million views in a week.
He fills a similar niche as James Hoffmann, just with general tech instead of coffee: Fussy in all the right places.
Technology Connections is the bomb.
Can't watch. Already got my 3 ad block videos in. (/j)
Betamax may have been higher quality, but the fact is that consumer TVs of the time couldn't display the difference in quality.
Classic Tropic Thunder scene.
I was one of the five people who owned the HD-DVD player for the Xbox 360 🫡
