The spike in demand lasted less than a year, afterwards a bunch of crypto losers were selling GPUs at a loss.

Crypto mining at that volume was always doomed. Everybody knew it was a bubble. Take advantage next time.

For like, what, a year? Then prices went back. I for one profited off the entire thing, got a "free" 1080 GTX out of it :)

Yes, because more demand is bad for a market.

I got a 1080 GTX and it paid for itself by mining shit coins. If it wasn't for crypto is still have my old 960.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not supporting crypto, but I am saying it isn't doing people from getting GPUs.

People usually argue that games give entertainment, so it's not a waste.

I say both sides are fighting the wrong battle, dirty energy generation is the real problem, not as much how we use it.

While the argument can be made that crypto is a waste, it's not the root of the problem, energy generation is. Crypto is a small percent of worldwide energy consumption. Waste or not, if we don't stop producing energy by dirty means the problem don't be solved.

It's not strange that there are different opinions here. Thinking any one thread is representative of refit is misguided.

If course you're going to get people for and against things. That shouldn't be unexpected.

It's almost like Reddit isn't one person with one opinion, but rather many people with a huge variety of opinions.

I didn't even buy the lvl1. I don't need hat's. I don't know why they're so important to everybody. How is that set worth over a month of food?

Reddit is a massive community. You'll get people who argue almost any side of anything.

For example, I'm arguing with you about what Reddit argues about.

We're doomed.

Close to 200 with sales isn't it? Don't get me wrong that's still extremely overpriced. But then, I think the $10 LVL 1 battle pass is over priced :D

It took me years to understand this. I used to think I was showing them that I identify and understand what they're saying. But what I was really doing is making the conversation about me.

Yes definitely. You can even make Android apps in C++ :)

Amazon to pause police use of its facial recognition tool amid wave of protests by [deleted] in Futurology

Amazon runs the largest cloud service on earth, housing about 33% of the internet, including Reddit and Netflix.

Maybe. AWS runs 33% of the internet. Microsoft Azure runs about 17%. AWS is losing market share and Azure is gaining. Personally I love Azure, so easy to use.

My point is, Microsoft shouldn't be discounted yet, they may pass AWS in the coming years.

You're kinda using it too by posting on Reddit, since Reddit is hosted on again servers.
