Ten people saying “it works now” is not going to lead to ten times that many risking their time and money on AMD. “Works for me” is a meme for a reason.

- AnthonyMouse 3y agoThe number of people who believe you is the average probability that someone believes you times number of people you tell. In the bronze age this was really bad because you had to travel on horseback and contacting people in the same industry in other cities was quite slow and burdensome. Now we have the internet and communicating with someone on the other side of the world takes 200ms, so the speed at which new information spreads is fast. Meanwhile those people then know each other, so as soon as someone credible claims it works, several other credible believe them, try it themselves, and say the same thing. It doesn't really matter if you think it's 10 or 100 or 1.2, it's exponential spread at the speed of the internet.
