My primary "personal" system is an M1 MBP with 8GB of RAM. I edit 6K video on it all the time. While it could certainly use more RAM, I don't feel like I need it bad enough to justify spending the money right now.

My gaming desktop only has 16GB of RAM. It's the fastest DDR4 that my motherboard will support, granted, but all of the games I play on it are CPU or GPU bound. Additional RAM isn't going to significantly help anything.

It's acceptable and can do a lot for sure but I was getting the vibe a lot of people consider more basically pointless which it IMO isn't. I think with a little bit of multitasking most users would experience a noticable improvement
