I finally get why my mom taped every episode of her shows on VHS, and I just did the same thing with a DVR | Binge Worthy Shows - Freelance Forum - The Community for Independent Professionals
Why does everyone act like recording stuff is about hoarding when it's really about control? My DVR lets me skip ads, pause live TV, and watch at 2am when I can't sleep. That's not the same as your mom stacking tapes in a closet. The real shift is that we went from praying the VCR timer worked to just hitting record on a screen. We traded the panic of a blank tape for the panic of a full hard drive.
