Maybe Some nerds joked at lunch that if we hoard all the RAM we cut it off from competitors. They saw what COVID did to supply chains and thought they’d be so smart if they could simulate it.

No no no, it’s all just the bullwhip effect, remember? Remember when prices went fucking nuts during Covid and then dropped?

Oh wait, they never fucking dropped.

Still waiting, all you bullshit, er, bullwhip truthers out there.

DRAM 2025 as toilet paper from 2020. Seems plausible.
