What were they thinking with a name like that? Maybe not the meme it is today, but "beta" had the same defintion back then as it does now. Why not got whith Alphamax? Apextape?
A thread dedicated to coming up with a better name for this product, so that in an alternate timeline it may be successful.

V H S Betamax Probably would have done marginally better with Alphamax.
Its like Idris Elba vs Chiwetel Ejiolfor

It was supposed to be "Betta Max" because it was the better (to the maximum), but they fucked it up

It's called that because it uses beta radiation to produce the image.

beta = advanced version of alpha prototype something at alpha stage = early prototype beta = more advanced, developed version, still not final

That's real cool and all, but your still stuck with your product being called "betamax".
