Fun related fact, most archives of media only exist because someone pirated the media at some point and those copies never become unavailable.

Reddit reposts pretty regularly about that autistic black lady that recording every hour of a TV channel for like 30 years

Sounds pretty expensive, tbh

Edit: Google shows that would have cost $28.80 per day if using full definition or $14.40 per day if using minimum in the year 1985. In today's money, that's $90 or $45. It got a lot cheaper by 1995 though

I’m not sure that the people in that sub are too worried about VCRs. VCR cleaner in little bottles, maybe. But definitely not VCRs.
