>>10804392>thinking it's normal for a VCR head to get dirty>thinking you have to dissemble a VCR to clean itKek. You're just some zoomer who's never owned a VCR. Oh no, you might have to clean the head every few years which takes about 5 whole seconds and restores the VCR to like-new condition. Compare that to discs getting scratched to death because they aren't physically protected, lasers burning out, and drive belts degrading.

The only thing it's questionable for is binary data storage but only lunatic retards would try to back up data on VHS.
