| this is a story about a proprietary accelerator being built/designed by a token provider. and you think they're going to return the efficiency gains to the customer instead of capture the value for themselves? interesting take. |

It's more expensive to buy a 1-2 year old video card than it was at launch, sometimes by a shockingly large factor. Laptop vendors have recently shipped flagship models with less memory than the previous model, because they can't match price expectations for a laptop. | |

| We should be mindful of the context that many of these providers VERY likely have been selling their subscriptions at a substantial loss So as much as i agree “more profits to stakeholders screw the customer”, i think its more of an emergency to get to profitability before the music stops. |

| Yes, I can bet on this happening. If anything, this is a net gain for consumers as it is a competitive market. |
