The DRAM Pricing Situation Is Actually Worse Than You Thought

This DRAM fiasco is a way bigger concern than anyone of us could've imagined and certain series of events such as the surge in AI demand alongside the fact that three (3) DRAM suppliers that control the market currently don't have enough supply within their inventory was the tipping point to cause the "perfect storm," and this will be an ongoing issue for the foreseeable future until supply can meet demand, or until this so-called "AI bubble" bursts. Follow along with me as I give my own take on the series of events that have led up to this controversy as well as how it has affected me from my own personal experience.
