Something I'm surprised wasn't brought up is the demand for recordable tapes. There's quite an active collector's scene for tapes that might contain old TV airings, commercials, bumpers, etc. Often these end up archived online, as a sort of civic duty of preservation. In addition, blank tapes are useful for creating a specific lo-fi visual style for videos and images.
