Looks like there aren't many tape decks and Microcassette recorders on Amazon.

Why I Still Use VHS Tapes

VHS, in full Video Home System, is a well-known video format that was once commonplace, now even some people, including me, still use it to this day. Initially released in Japan in 1976, arriving later in the United States in 1977.

VHS won the widely documented home video tape format war against Betamax, which provides slightly higher quality.

The format refuses to die in some places, even after mainstream manufacturers ceasing the production of VHS VCRs.

Why I Still Use It Today (And It's Not Nostalgia)

No internet connection needed: VHS is an offline format, meaning that it was invented in the pre-internet era. Additionally, it doesn't require subscriptions or digital rentals and purchases.

Has more content than streaming: yes, I hate streaming, they just remove everything, and they don't have as much content as VHS does.

No menus: unlike DVD and Blu-ray, VHS is an analog linear format, this proves that it cannot have any menus.

It's an all-time favorite: the same reason as Betamax, Compact Cassette, and floppy disks.

It's the best video format of all time: along with Betamax, pretty much says at all, similar to the Compact Cassette being the best audio format and the floppy disk being the best data format.

Vast majority of titles are not available for streaming in the United States because they are on physical media, radio, and television.

Floppy disk is great despite its extremely low capacity.
