Even in 2025, emerging industries are like "what's an environment?"
Can't blame this on not knowing. It's all just negligence and evil now.

You don't hate AI slop enough...
The 64GB kit I purchased Aug 2024 for $195 is now listing for $540
I was told I was probably overdoing it putting 96GB in my PC a year or two ago. Be that true, but if this pricing doesn't ease up by the time it becomes a server, my ZFS cache will love it!
Bitch, are you surge pricing ram? Cuz it looks like you're surge pricing ram....
This is nothing new. I worked at a small computer shop in a small town between 2005-2007. The owner treated memory as a commodity. He checked national ram module prices daily. Buying low, and selling high. He sometimes adjusted the module price on a per-customer basis.
I get that it's much harder to do that with online stores, where prices are published to multiple places, and for chain stores where the price needs to be consistent between locations.
As a result there’s a capacity crunch on memory production, shooting the prices for RAM sky high, over 100 percent in the last few months alone
They said "market price".... What market are you shopping at?!

Guess I should have bought the 128GB 3600 kit earlier.
Are DDR4 also affected?

I wonder how long ill be staying on my AM4 motherboard... those updated CPUs for gaming that AMD came out with might be my only option for a long time.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
I swear I bought some RAM just at the start of October for reasonable prices. Did it change so quickly?
