I think we are "lucky" that it effects all computer like electronics (laptops, PCs, gaming consoles, phones). If it was only PCs, the PC as we know it would die out.

My prediction is that all software will use less ram and less GPU in the coming years. If companies keep on shifting towards higher requirements year after year, people won't buy it anymore because it will simply not run on a mainstream machine anymore.

    Yeah, agreed. Just buy monthly a fixed amount of money in index funds. When it goes down, some people will double it.

    I made the mistake of selling when covid hit and the market went down. I started buying again when the market was doing OK again. So I made two mistakes: sold low, bought high.

    I don't know if that is a problem. If a human does dumb things he will be fired. If a computer/algorithm /Ai does it, it will be removed.

    I think it has more to do with human costs (salary) vs the cost of brand damage (youtube).

    Jup. But the same goes for developers that go way too fast when setting up a project or library. 2-3 months in and everything is a mess. Weird function names, all one letter vars, no inversion of control, hardcoded things etc. Good luck fixing it.
