Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

For the record, the biggest reason vhs beat Betamax was the same thing Sony has struggled with in later years.

They chose to keep the media format proprietary, while JVC opened the VHS format for any company to make. That's how VHS became more ubiquitous, and it's a similar story as to why minidisc never became mainstream, and memory sticks are gone.

Which arguably falls under "marketed poorly", but I think the added context helps

Yes that indeed does help, thanks. I should have mentioned that explicitly.
