While it exists now, I'm sort of wondering if an even more ultrahipster market of people who horde and collect old VHS recordings of everything from local TV broadcasts to home movies will become a bigger thing. There will be a special rarity to these literal never-to-be-seen-again contents that they won't even make copies of them so as to not dilute their value. Like someone will have a complete and unedited rough cut VHS copy* of The Day The Clown Died that only they and they alone can possess. They will unsheathe it now and then for private viewings with close, like-minded collectors, until the day someone who desires it more bashes them over the head with vase to claim it as their own.

The one big goldmine of weird old VHS recording is the archive of everything that's been sent in to America's Funniest Home Videos, and even they are letting some internet people poke around in it now.
