How are the VHS cassettes holding up? 30+ years I think is past the average lifespan, do they jam/tear/etc more than they used to?

I convert them to USB for people as a side line. Quite rare to find one that won't play. Even the ones where the spools are white with mold still play ok.

I haven’t had any tears. Hard to say whether it’s my VCR or the tapes doing the jamming. I’m not very tech savvy, and I was a kid when these were all in use so I haven’t learned how to fix these things. When something doesn’t work right, I usually just take the top off the VCR and wiggle a part, and all goes smoothly after that.
