What about the 8 track tape industry? Shouldn’t that be propped up too? They are nearly a dying breed as well.
Funny you should mention that, just last night I was researching the history of 8-Track's on Wikipedia and such, and came to the same conclusion as I always did while 8-Track's were king ---
"The best place for an 8-Track Cartridge tape is tangled up in some tree by the side of the highway"
