While a worse format surely could have won something like the video wars, it doesn't seem that VHS was in fact the worse format overall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyKRubB5N60 (Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v019trxfcmg . Quality comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oJs8-I9WtA ) Beta was basically optimised for one thing, reasonable cassette size, and the tradeoffs turned out probably not to be worth it.

Moreover, the VHS cassete itself is arguably a better design! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWl9Wux7iVY

Only the porn industry can answer that question.

Contrary to the popular belief, you can get porn on Atom.

At least you don't get fined for forgetting to rewind you Atom feed.

Do video cassette recorders and players support both VHS and Betamax?

Because essentially all feed readers support both Atom and RSS.
