    Yet people keeps buying their product. It’s almost as if voting with your wallet is all that’ll ever work.

      Billionaires love when you think you can only vote with your wallet. They have many, many more votes than you. Nvidia doesn’t give two shits about your wallet compared to the ones paying them to fill datacenters.

      voting with your wallet

      I’m terrified how many people think buying and selling stuff is moral, civic, and democratic duty. Econ 101 doesn’t even work in economics, why are we applying it to everything?

      The sales of consumer GPUs make up a veeeery tiny percentage of nvidias revenue. Nvidia could stop selling consumer GPUs tomorrow and it wouldn’t even make a noticeable dent in their revenues. And what other options do u really have? Any other company ain’t much better.

        Nowadays, yes. Wasn’t this way 10-15 years ago. I’ve been against their practices enough to not buy their product these last 20 years, which feels like a very lonely hill to die on.
