8Gb of ddr4 is $25 usd and 16Gb ddr4 sticks are going for about $75 usd goes up from there depending on speed.

This has new 2x8GB 3200 DDR4 DIMMs being a bit over $200 at the moment.
A year back, it was $50, but not now.
I recently paid $120 for 4x8gb 3000 DDR4 RGB DIMMs used on eBay so prices aren't totally insane just yet. Anything new is out of stock or close to it because DDR5 is/was the norm. It would probably be cheaper to buy server ram if you can get a board and CPU that can use it.

It'll be ok. Just stop buying shit. They haven't needed new computers for years now they just act like they do. See windows 11 required hardware roll out. You think that is a new tactic? That is just them being overt about a practice that has existed forever.
