Why the fuck do people still use Twitter? Why would you pay to use social media? You're already the product, and now you're going to pay to be the fucking product? Are you stupid?

    Multiple reasons, but I'd be lying if I claimed it's not partly out of spite for all the people who get hilariously angry about it. I'm also subscribed to SuperGrok.

    Imagine getting angry because other people do things you don't like, even though it doesn't affect you in any way whatsoever. Stop hitting yourself.

    Nope, doesn't affect me at all... oh, wait, I can no longer afford a platter drive or ssd to expand storage, I can no longer afford ram, cpus, soon to be pcbs. Nope, doesn't affect anyone anywhere at all.

    Recently bought a 1tb m.2 for a friend, it cost more than the 2tb I bought in december

    Well people using twitter surely aren't to blame for that which is what I was responding to here.

    People using LLMs do drive up the demand for computer components, I'll give you that, though even there it's a bit more nuanced than that.
