Was, "Be kind, rewind" really that much of a hassle?

VHS cassettes were also relatively fragile and decay on use (technically so do vinyl records but they are more forgiving). Humans are also really good at ignoring minor flaws in audio, while visual noise and low graphic resolution is much harder to ignore (though CRT messed up the image in one of the best ways possible for the human brain to fill the gaps).

It was tedious and time consuming.

Hitting a button on a device and waiting (gasp!) more than 30 seconds was so tedious!?

... no wonder people constantly pay greedy fucks like Elon than take five seconds to think about ... anything.
