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.
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?
Doesn’t really help that they got an almost monopoly on the market (with the only competitors being as shitty and involved in the AI circlejerk just as much).
They’re rather near a monopoly indeed. Imagination, Mali and a few other (minor) competitors still exist, but I guess it wouldn’t be fair to begin comparing gaming performance…
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.
Yet people keeps buying their product. It’s almost as if voting with your wallet is all that’ll ever work.
Nvidia doesn’t care about consumer votes. They have plenty of AI dollars.
They have plenty of AI dollars for now.
Yet all people I hear have bought new computers in the last 15 years (very few exceptions) somehow has Nvidia cards.
I went AMD when I bought my new computer 3 years ago! (Not that they’re much better at all!)
Hoping cheap Chinese GPUs and RAM catch up soon!
If the Future of free and open computing ends up being Chinese, it’s gonna be hilarious.

We don’t have the money to back up our vote in this ‘election’. If you could even call it that. Capitalism isn’t a democratic process.
Well, I did my part at least.
