    I heard somewhere but have no source, that porn was the driving reason behind VHS becoming so popular.

      Porn may have been one factor, but the bad recording times on beta are what really killed it. Here is a series of four videos detailing the differences between beta and VHS. And there was plenty of porn available on the beta.

      Imagine spending a thousand dollar right now on technology that has two standards not compatible and who knows if it is going to even work just so you could consume one type of media in the privacy of your home. Which media would be worth this great expense and risk?

        Reminds of HD-DVD vs Blu-ray. During that time I bought into neither thankfully. I recall thinking HDDVD was the way to go but didn’t wanna invest in either.

      Streaming video as well. I remember when YouTube was new and PornHub was just straight up the best video host on the internet. People were uploading their SFW videos there because the buffering was so much better.
