Good article π
Remember how Google tried to shove Google+ down everyone's throat? And G+ was a better social network compared to Facebook.
And now we're talking slop that people REALLY disn't ask for.

Missed the wave? Theyβre the ones who released chatGPT.
These motherfuckers started the wave and are salty cause it didnβt help them long term.
I don't know how Microslop is managing to stay around. They haven't been at the front of any tech innovations since Windows. And Windows have steadily been going downhill too.
I guess they are still around because they somehow convinced most corporations to use Windows back in the early days when it was good and the switch to Linux has been slow because everything now depends on windows in those corporations and switching is expensive.

Great, can I now buy RAM, SSDs, and HDDs on a cheaper price?
Unfortunately, like GPUs during the cryptomining era, consumers have shown their hand as to just-how-many-people will pay insane exorbitant prices. Remember when you could pay $200-300 every 2 years and get about double the GPU power? (It was only 5 years ago...) Nvidia & AMD learned that they no longer had to offer that anymore.
RAM prices have quadrupled in a year. Yet 25% of gamers still plan to upgrade this year, and 40% in the next 2 years. Even if we make believe that the previous status-quo was "everyone upgrades every year" (which is obviously a gross overestimation), this is a huge "line-going-up" scenario for the RAM manufacturers.
Why would they even bother lowering prices until forced to do so?
The amount of consumers who get a chub for overpaying is way too high. "Look at how much money I have! I can pay $3000 for a $400 product and not bat an eye!" Absolute schmucks.
"Missed" they didn't even take a serious shot with any of them
