The problem with citing cartels and greed is...when prices are low, is it because the industry is momentarily altruistic? Did the industry wake up in late 2025 and think "holy shit, I've been being nice, but it's time to turn over a new leaf and start gouging people?"

I mean, don't get me wrong, they are greedy. But that's been true for years. What's changed is the market.

What has changed is for years they never had an excuse as good as AI , what they do isn't creating demand where it does not exist, it is making sure demand doesn't drop by colluding on prices and limiting production between all the companies
