RE: Mass Flaggot Post!

You're the one making an affirmative claim (with zero evidence), i should think its on you to prove that porn had a significant impact on the emergence of blu-ray and vhs as a dominant format. SO you say something idiotic, and if i can't prove the negative, its true. Nice try.

Youre making a spurious correlation. Yes, HD-DVD and betamax died. And yes, both had less porn on them than Blu-ray and VHS.They also probably had less sci-fi. And fewer romantic comedies. There were probably also fewer documentaries. BEcause fewer movie studios used it. Because of the length issues (see size does matter) and because more people owned the (cheaper) VHS format players.

That is to say, the serious problems with the format caused them to have less porn (and everything else) and also caused them to fail. You are making an argument to causation --- that betamax was less friendly to porn and that made it less appealing which ultimately led to them losing the video cassette market. However, the only reason there was less porn on beta was because there was less everything, because it was already losing the format war.

Same with HDDVD and Blu-ray. Yeah, there was less porn. There were also less video games, less non-porn movies less everything.

Your argument is as ridiculous as saying "Well there was less porn in the soviet union, thats why it failed" Yes, america did have more porn. And also more of everything else. The soviet union had less because of its many fundamental problems. The paucity of porn was an effect, not a cause.

replying here due to nesting:

this is the reply I have been waiting for an answer on that you keep avoiding. I said I will keep copy pasting it to you till you answer it because your whole argument is based on this one point. so lets read it again shal we?:

Im not really sure what you want me to say that i haven't said already. My response now is the same as it was 23 hours ago, when you asked and I responded:

Obviously, I don't want people to downvote me at all, regardless of the reason. If someone does downvote me (as people have in the past), i might even think that they had made a bad decision.
But i certainly think it was their decision to make. If you want to downvote my posts, go right ahead. If you want to encourage others to do so, thats certainly your perogative. If you can do so without using any patently offensive slurs, or saying i should fuck myself, I won't even downvote you when you do it.

im not really sure how much clearer I can make it.
