As gamers nexus said, the hardware companies are now post consumer. They are building stuff with investments backstopped by taxpayer money, so if you choose to boycott now it will probably make things worse. People spent a lot of energy laughing at people that were warning that this would happent not too long ago.

- embedding-shape 10mo ago(Human) summary of this almost one hour long video essay? Seems like the typical "random tech influencer is trying to fuel the fire/drama of today" because of the clickbait title of "NVIDIA: WTF?", so unsure if it fits to be linked here in the first place.
- throwaway6977 10mo agoGN is a well established, popular and independent consumer hardware reviewer that has only a few peers on par with them in the space. Hardly some "random tech influencer".
- embedding-shape 10mo agoYeah, Paris Hilton and others are also established and popular, hardly makes them a source of authority. If you publish clickbait on YouTube to add fuel to drama, you're unfortunately digging your own hole and it shouldn't come as a surprise others consider you "random influencers who peddle drama".
- mikkupikku 10mo agoI wouldn't listen to Paris Hilton talk about computer hardware, and I wouldn't listen to Gamer Nexus talk about who has the hottest hair in Hollywood. Flip those around though, and that's different.
- embedding-shape 10mo agoI gave it a 20 minutes try, since it seems not just one person is convinced this Gamer Nexus isn't just another influencer. They seem knowledgeable about hardware, I give you that. But then when they start going into markets, economies and geopolitics, that's when I start roll my eyes, and continuing listening to that is like taking hardware advice from Paris Hilton. Again, don't let influencers give you the idea that just because they happen to know topic X well, they suddenly know all the areas and subjects that are slightly related to those areas well too.
- EA-3167 10mo agoGell-Mann Amnesia is a shockingly hard thing to fight against I’m afraid.
- ericd 10mo agoYeah, wasn’t impressed with GN’s theories about the politics/motivations/etc behind these big market shifts. It’s much simpler, there’s limited supply capacity and a more lucrative use of the hardware now. The market will find a new equilibrium.
- CYR1X 10mo agoGN very much loves to fuel the fire lol. He usually does it by being More Correct Than You.
- embedding-shape 10mo agoYeah, that's kind of insufferable, and especially not something I'd like to receive dragged out over an hour. I prefer "More Correct Than You" HN comments over that, so I can read them in 30 seconds instead.
- hnuser123456 10mo agoBut the situation is still getting worse, and he has influenced customer service policy at many of those places for the better. We don't all have to watch him but he's good to have.
