    I think the entire PC industry is next. PC cases, fans, heat sinks, and all the YouTubers that review them.

    I stopped watching many tech YouTubers because there’s absolutely no point in knowing about the latest hardware when I am absolutely not going to buy a PC until things normalize.

    Before, even when I wasn’t in the market for a new PC, I’d still keep up on news because I might get one in the future.

      They sold out their customers to the corporate overlords.

      You are no longer their customer.

      You have been replaced.

      What are the consumers going to do, stop consuming? Don’t make me laugh.

        They will consume less… I hope you had your laugh anyway stranger. Have a good day. Not sure why you’re being mean. I hope the week gets better, love.

          It was not my intent to be mean, it was my intent to be cynical. Good things almost never just accidentally happen in this system. When the AI demand dies down these companies will go back to making consumer/general purpose hardware and gamers will ravenously buy that shit up, because they haven’t been able to upgrade their rigs for years.

          A shift in demand. If or when the AI market dries up consumers will be more than eager to be able to buy components again.

          I don’t like it either but it is what it is.
