It may have contributed to the failure of Betamax, but there several reasons for the failure of that format.

1. It was expensive. From the cameras to the playback machines, even commercial distribution on Betamax tapes came with an expensive license and fee that VHS did not have.

2. Betamax tapes (initially) were limited to 60 minutes. The VHS tapes were initially 120 or 180 minutes.

3. Betamax machines and Betamax camcorders were much more bulky and heavier and more complicated to use than their VHS alternatives.

Despite its superior quality, Betamax came with a lot of drawbacks, all of which were the major contributors to its downfall. How much porn itself had to do with that, it’s probably not known, but it was not a major contributing factor.

This is the funniest thing I’ve heard all day

I’m sorry to hear of your troubles. Best wishes.

I’m sorry to hear of your troubles. Best wishes.

lol

See, this is what a delusion is. You’re hallucinating things I never said, and imagining things I’ve never thought.

Because you cannot handle criticism. Sad.

Oh, the irony…

You have my pity

And a block

I’m going to save this comment as an excellent example of someone who is a “fanatic”. Someone who believes that the only way someone could disagree with them is if they were paid to do that.

No, but all of the false claims you made certainly count as a lie.

And since you’re obviously quite skilled at selective omission, pick the part of this next phrase you like the most: eat me

Any word to do. No need to list all of them.

That’s how I know you’re full of shit: you couldn’t even provide a single one

That is not what they said

If you have to lie in order to make your point, then you have lost the argument already

If you have any evidence that could prove me wrong, you would have provided it already.

“MONEY=BAD” is a hilarious argument when you are arguing in favor of Google

Delusions

Apple doesn’t care about your feelings. Neither do I.

I don’t know who told you this insane bullshit, but not a word of it is true.

I’m sorry to hear about your imagined misery

Yeah, and the obvious benefit is that they aren’t harvesting my personal data to fuck me in the ass with ads.

You have chosen the “fuck me in the ass with ads” option. as someone who loves getting fucked in the ass, I tip my hat to you.

And you hallucinate that that somehow makes you better than me? Or that it’s the better choice?

I am not beholden to your hallucinations. I can actually make better choices for myself. I urge you to do the same.

Apple may harvest my personal data, but they never sell it. The worst with that that will ever happen. Is they use my personal data to sell me an iCloud subscription.

Those who make android? Their entire business structure relies on them selling your personal data. Which, of course, they can easily harvest from their custom operating system.

Anyone claiming that android is somehow more secure than iOS will never get anything but the deserved amount of ridicule

Removed by mod

You get what you give

I’m sorry to hear that an iPhone was somehow too difficult for you to use.

Best wishes ❤️

this isn’t an android. When you turn something off on an iPhone, it turns off.
