People will defend anti-consumer practices even if it goes against their own interest, just to contradict the crowd. Nvidia doesn't even have to pay these clowns.

Raising prices to meet demand isn’t an anti-consumer practice. Nvidia is guilty of plenty of those, but gamers said “I’ll pay $300 more than what you previously charged” for a year straight and Nvidia listened.

And yes, many of those “gamers” were just miners. But if you were on here during the 3000 series drop you saw people all the time who picked up 3000s for prices they were a little embarrassed of.
