it's seem a case of "build an audience and monetize later" except they gave the golden gose itself to the audience instead of the egg,

now they're in "monetize later" and some rando's internet repo is more usable and has a better pipeline than their "dreamstudio", and to boot now these rare gtx aren't rare anymore thanks to the bitcoin crash, so enthusiast can readily use the model at home.

Nitpick, but it's not so much the Bitcoin crash as it is Ethereum switching away from proof-of-work (GPU) mining.

The crash kicked off the GPU liquidations, POS switch sealed the deal.
