It seems like VHS tapes lose fidelity upon further rewatchings pretty easily. I found this out the hard way when buying some older Disney animated movies on VHS a while back. I imagine that has something to do with the mechanism required to read the contents of the cassette. As far as I can tell, the only really stable data storage method today is flash memory which pretty much never degrades.

tape is still the best backup medium and flash has limited number of write cycles plus like a decade lifespan iirc
