Still using my tapes today. Work great and they do what I want, no ads, no subscriptions, I own it. Younguns missed out on the best time. They wont own a thing and will be consumed with ads and depression
It's shocking how apathetic many people have become to this. I don't want any kind of ad anywhere. When I have to use a browser that doesn't have my essential plugins installed every second of the experience feels like I'm taking poison damage.
I'm exactly the same. My other half doesn't know how good she's got it ๐ I've ad-proofed as much of her stuff as I can.
I've converted my entire family to at least use Brave on their iPhones
Studies have shown ads cause depression. But holy crao are people desensitized now. Its infuriating.
There are ways to own very high quality movies. Those ways just happen to not be legal. Still less of a hassle than maintaining a physical media collection.
I do own a record player so I see the point of added physicality though.
For a given value of great. The only tapes I'd describe as looking great are HDV tapes, and even then they're anamorphic and interlaced.
I'm all for owning media but whenever I see stuff like this I wonder what the person is watching stuff on. Tapes were fine on titchy CRTs but they look pretty horrid on TVs from this decade.
Somewhat ironically they'd probably look fine on the mobile devices the younguns favour!
Well I have multiple crts haha. I use my flat-screen too and it looks fine. I've never cared about visual quality as much as audio
