    There is no RAM shortage. There is only greed.

    We haven’t run out of the ingredients. The machines that make it have not all been raptured.

    This is nothing more than greedy assholes demeaning more money for something they can control.

    There is no shortage, don’t call it that or you are feeding their narrative.

      Why would anyone bother making consumer RAM for cheap when they can use that manufacturing capacity to make it for the AI datacenters instead, who pay a premium?
