Oh yeah true, it would've been 576i in NZ, so maybe that's why I didn't notice as much image quality difference between VHS and DVD(aside from the noise when VHS tapes get old)

IIRC most TVs only supported 480i until DVDs came out
In that case you protest from home with your sniper rifle 😂 (j/k)
Therefore, the cure for fast food addiction is recreational drugs and alcohol!
Porn is probably a correlation with those other factors...
Also that quality was the only differentiation in the age of 480i seems a bit crazy to then try to get a licence fee out of it. I barely cared about the quality difference between VHS and DVD when it first came out until I got a better TV where I could actually see the difference, and I imagine the difference with beta max would be even smaller than that 😅
Edit: 480i, not 480p 😅
Seems like an example of childlore, which describes a specific species of meme that only propagates among children.
