Consumers do not have the leverage they once had anymore. Last year, 70% of RAM went to AI. This year, it’s likely even more and who knows how few crumbs they are leaving for us to lick up from the kitchen floor in 2027.

It’s call a boycott.
It’s physical, and requires folks get off couches.

Why would RAM manufacturers or large tech companies that have both stopped caring about consumers as customers be bothered by a boycott done by said consumers? Are you not seeing the problem here?

I am seeing that the term “boycott” means vastly different things to historians and the average emptor.
When I say «boycott,» what is the first that comes to your mind?
For me, it’s this.
A rioting mob of Luddites, British workers who were opposed to increasing mechanization of jobs.🔗

Boycotts are by definition non-violent. You can’t just use an outdated definition or make up your own if you want people to understand what you’re trying to communicate. Just say riot, uprising or revolt instead.
