Honestly if I had to take a guess why there's a market for VHS then what you just said would be a huge part of that guess.

I also think technology has gotten a bit ridiculous. I mean we've gone from HD to 4K and then to what next?? Having our eyeballs removed so can put USB sockets in our skulls to create a 10TB video emersion experience?

So I'm sure for many people they're thinking the same thing about the tech and that this is in some way part of the reason for the resurgence of VHS.

I don't have to imagine. The used to sell the cameras and film for them. However I just used them for things like family affairs and vacation photos. I don't recall ever having sold smut.

What's to understand? All you have to do is give the consumer what it wants.

On the best of days, the consumer is a colicky baby that only shuts up when it has something to distract it.

So if today the baby wants 3D VR porn and tomorrow it wants finger painted tits... as long as it has money to pay for it then that's all that's important.
