0:03 Micron is taking money from the American
0:06 people under bipartisan support, and it
0:08 is then [ __ ] those people over by
0:10 killing its consumer-facing line of
0:12 memory with its mega corporate buyers
0:14 getting priority over the forloren
0:17 consumers who themselves footed the bill
0:18 to pay for their own economic
0:21 destruction. What they can also do is
0:23 continue processing your daily computing
0:25 needs in those data centers while making
0:27 the hardware impossible for you to buy
0:29 because you can't [ __ ] afford it.
0:31 because they bought it all. That's where
0:33 I think this is going. The corruption of
0:38 the silicon companies is in the open.
0:39 Micron is in the news for abandoning
0:41 consumers. But this is bigger than that.
0:43 The cartel of silicon manufacturers have
0:46 continued to rake in record tax breaks,
0:48 government subsidies, and taxpayer money
0:50 from a populace battered by the
0:53 unaffordability of basically anything
0:56 and by rising prices. And all of this is
0:58 to pass on that money to the
1:00 manufacturers's own mega corporate
1:03 customer manufacturers all praying to
1:05 their god of money AI. So while normal
1:07 people are feeling the walls closing in
1:09 around them as software as a service
1:11 looms from data centers hoovering up all
1:13 the affordable hardware signaling the
1:15 end of an era for affordable home
1:17 computing. All of the eggs are in the AI
1:19 basket for Micron which just killed its
1:21 direct to consumer RAM to focus on the
1:23 bubble of AI. quote, "The AIdriven
1:25 growth in the data center has led to a
1:27 surge in demand for memory and storage.
1:29 Micron has made the difficult decision
1:31 to exit the crucial consumer business in
1:33 order to improve supply and support for
1:36 our larger strategic, more important, no
1:38 it doesn't say that part, customers in
1:40 faster growing segments." End quote. For
1:42 consumers, the end result is higher
1:45 prices on already high prices, less
1:47 competition in the consumer market, and
1:49 critically less pricing suppression
1:51 coming from a first-party manufacturer
1:54 of the memory itself. One of three that
1:56 are relevant in the world, and they've
1:58 just killed their store brand, basically
2:00 like a supermarket house brand of
2:02 memory, which was called Crucial. At
2:04 times, this former consumer focused
2:06 brand of Crucial meant that there was
2:08 more competitive pricing than some of
2:10 the customers of Micron who buy Micron
2:12 memory and glue it to their own
2:13 self-branded heat sinks and sticks
2:17 alongside the likes of SKH Highix and of
2:19 Samsung. Those three collectively form
2:21 basically the entire market for this
2:24 supply. This seemingly panicked decision
2:26 comes just 8 months into the craziest of
2:28 the AI demand. We question whether
2:30 Micron is actually killing this for the
2:32 stated reason of excessive AI demand
2:34 requiring more chip supply as opposed to
2:37 retconing a reason and AI washing its
2:39 closure of the business unit crucial and
2:41 inevitably getting rid of a lot of the
2:43 staff who probably work there. But then
2:45 if you look at Micron as a whole,
2:47 they're actually doing pretty well. So
2:49 maybe they're not AI washing a bad
2:51 quarter. Micron is actually doing
2:53 amazingly as it capitalizes on the
2:55 destruction of the consumer market and
2:57 works with data centers to suck in all
3:00 of the hardware to continue to move
3:03 computers and the ownership of them into
3:05 the cloud for software as a service
3:08 models. Micron stock started the year at $87.33
3:09 $87.33
3:12 and peaked at $253.30,
3:16 a climb of 190% to that point. About two
3:18 weeks ago, Micron stocks suddenly
3:21 plunged to $21, but that was still up
3:23 significantly on the year. As we write
3:24 this, the end of trading after its
3:27 announcement had it at $234. Again,
3:31 that's from 87 on January 1st. For even
3:32 more perspective, switching to the
3:35 maximum scale shows us that precoid
3:38 Micron stock was around $40 to $50. As
3:40 for why we're talking about the stock
3:42 price, it's because it's the only
3:43 [ __ ] language these people
3:45 understand. The executives don't know
3:47 anything else. To them, this is a job
3:49 well done. Even though we're barreling
3:52 towards the end of easy ownership of
3:54 computers at home, high-end computing in
3:57 the home has been democratized by
4:00 prices. And that is starting to go away
4:02 in a very serious fashion. These greedy
4:04 companies with Nvidia CEO Jensen Juan at
4:07 the helm while he shoves his hand up the
4:09 US government's ass for his next
4:11 award-winning puppet show are doing
4:13 their best to de-mocratize silicon and
4:14 pull it out of the hands of the
4:16 consumers to shove it into their data
4:18 centers. And just if you don't know,
4:21 Micron is a supplier of VRAM that goes
4:24 into GPUs as well. We think the endgame
4:25 here is that they'll charge you to use
4:28 this stuff in the cloud. If you want 128
4:30 gigabytes of RAM on a computer to run a
4:32 calculation, but you can't afford the
4:34 250% higher price, then good news,
4:36 you'll be able to rent it remotely for
4:39 just some money every month
4:41 forever. We're actually working on a
4:44 deep dive into the DRAM cartel right now
4:45 because our AI dystopia Kickstarter
4:47 style campaign on our store hit our
4:49 stretch goal, which means the DRM cartel

5:36 so check back for that. For now, head
5:39 over to store.gamersac.net to support
5:41 our upcoming series that we're launching
5:43 in multiple videos over the next 3
5:44 months. We're going to have some pretty
5:45 heavy commentary towards the end here
5:47 today, but we'll start with the basics
5:49 and the statement. So, Micron is one of
5:53 just three relevant global suppliers for
5:55 memory. It's Samsung and SKH Highix in
5:58 South Korea and Micron in the United
6:01 States. These companies sell their DRAM
6:03 and their flash components to other
6:04 companies that you might be familiar
6:07 with like Corsair, GSkill, Kingston,
6:09 Team Group, and so forth. Memory
6:12 suppliers have previously been convicted
6:15 of price fixing and of fraud. And this
6:17 has been attempted again in the time
6:19 since, but it goes back as far as
6:22 decades ago. Now, these days, they've
6:24 fixed that problem by not colluding to
6:28 fix prices by instead doing it publicly.
6:31 So, it's not it's not like a a private
6:33 behind closed doors price fixing
6:35 agreement and a handshake between CEOs.
6:37 Now, now they just talk about it in
6:38 their earnings reports. So other than
6:41 these three suppliers, the entire rest
6:42 of the memory industry is made up by
6:46 less than 6% of other companies as of a
6:47 couple years ago and probably even a
6:49 lower percent for that other category.
6:51 Now before we really tear into this,
6:53 let's read the full statement from
6:55 Micron. Quote, "Micron Technology, a
6:56 leader in innovative memory and storage
6:58 solutions, today announced its decision
7:00 to exit the crucial consumer business,
7:02 including the sale of crucial consumer
7:04 branded products at key retailers,
7:06 eailers, and distributors worldwide."
7:08 End quote. just to jump in for a second
7:11 here, but corpo PR spin starting with
7:13 we're leaders in innovation and ending
7:19 with so we're giving up is I it's what
7:21 did Jensen Juan say?
7:22 >> Clever. I guess
7:24 >> that's it. Now, as we read this next
7:26 paragraph from Micron, it's important to
7:28 remember that Micron is an Nvidia
7:30 supplier. Quote, the AIdriven growth in
7:32 the data center has led to a surge in
7:34 demand for memory and storage. Micron
7:37 has made the difficult decision to exit
7:39 the crucial consumer business in order
7:41 to improve supply and support for our
7:43 larger strategic customers in faster
7:45 growing segments. End quote. And this
7:48 was a sub quote by Summit Sadana, EVP
7:50 and chief business officer at Micron
7:52 Technology who again says that the plan
7:56 is to focus on faster growing segments.
7:59 So first of all, [ __ ] you. And secondly,
8:01 at least Micron is clear with their
8:03 intentions, which is that Micron doesn't
8:05 care about consumers anymore. They only
8:08 want to sell to the big companies and
8:10 the high growth AI space. Now, you might
8:12 be quick to point out that Micron didn't
8:14 say anywhere in this press release that
8:16 had stopped selling consumer memory
8:18 completely. They said they're killing
8:20 Crucial, which is their house brand of
8:21 memory, the sticks. And the plain
8:23 English interpretation of their
8:24 statement is that the consumer segment
8:27 is not fast growing enough. and quote
8:29 strategic customers in faster growing
8:31 segments end quote is the focus to us
8:32 that doesn't just mean crucial it
8:35 indicate anyone in AI and data center
8:37 getting priority over even their other
8:39 customers to us this signals a draw down
8:41 in supply for consumer in general from
8:43 Micron and remember a lot of the price
8:46 fixing problems and illegality are
8:48 solved by not doing it privately and
8:49 behind closed doors but instead
8:52 announcing it to your competitors and
8:54 just to be clear I'm making this point
8:57 purely for purposes of illustrating a
8:59 literary point on historical context.
9:01 And I'm not actually suggesting that
9:02 they are actively price fixing or
9:05 committing fraud. I am not suggesting
9:07 that any of the memory manufacturers are
9:08 actively committing fraud. That is not
9:11 what I am suggesting. I'm just making a
9:13 point about the past where there were
9:16 convictions of fraud. But I'm not I'm
9:17 not suggesting that's happening now.
9:19 Okay. All right. Let's move on. Here's
9:20 the rest of the spin. quote, "Thanks to
9:23 a passionate community of consumers, the
9:25 Crucial brand has become synonymous with
9:27 technical leadership, quality, and
9:29 reliability of leading edge memory and
9:31 storage products. We'd like to thank our
9:33 millions of customers, hundreds of
9:34 partners, and all of the Micron team
9:36 members who have supported the crucial
9:38 journey over the last 29 years. This
9:40 decision reflects Micron's commitment to
9:43 its what the [ __ ] Okay. This decision
9:45 reflects Micron's commitment to its
9:47 ongoing portfolio transformation and the
9:50 resulting alignment of its business to
9:52 secular profitable growth vectors in
9:55 memory and storage. By concentrating on
9:57 core enterprise and commercial segments,
9:59 Micron aims to improve long-term
10:00 business performance and create value
10:03 for strategic customers as well as
10:04 stakeholders. End quote. So once again,
10:07 as if to dismiss the three spin doctors
10:10 that we've seen on Reddit, uh Micron
10:12 clearly states that it is concentrating
10:15 on enterprise and business. The rest of
10:16 the statement reads, quote, Micron
10:18 intends to reduce impact on team
10:20 members. Just be clear, not eliminate,
10:24 they say reduce impact on team members
10:26 due to this business decision through
10:28 redeployment opportunities into existing
10:30 open positions within the company. End
10:31 quote. Now, we already covered a lot of
10:33 what's happening in the DRAM industry
10:36 and in system memory with our RAM what
10:38 the [ __ ] video. So, again, if you've
10:39 been wondering what's been going on with
10:43 RAM, specifically the [ __ ] then we'll
10:45 link that video below. The quick recap
10:47 is that in some instances within a span
10:49 of just about 14 days, we saw kits of
10:51 memory skyrocket in price by
10:53 double-digit percentages. In a span of
10:55 about 30 to 60 days, several kits of
10:57 consumer memory launched upwards in
11:00 price by 150 to 200%. that has continued
11:02 to go up in the couple weeks since our
11:06 report. Checking Crucial's 32 GB or 2x6
11:09 GB kit of DDR5 6000 CL36 memory, we
11:11 found this price trend chart from PC
11:14 Parter. About 120 days ago, this kit was
11:17 $85 at Best Buy and B&H Photo. By
11:20 October 20th, that had climbed to $122
11:22 and retailer Adorama lost supply. By
11:26 November 3rd, it increased to $182, so
11:28 114% from a reference point. As of
11:30 today, it's $274.
11:34 This RAM was $85 just 120 days ago.
11:37 That's a 222% increase in price in 120
11:39 days. Or in other words, an average of 1.85%
11:42 1.85%
11:45 per day increase. This 128 GB kit was
11:49 $300 and is now $964
11:51 at Best Buy and B&H, an increase of
11:55 220%. Or if you prefer, a 3.2x increase.
11:57 This is something a home workstation
11:59 user might have relied upon for things
12:01 like CAD engineering, Blender, video
12:02 production, 3D modeling, game
12:04 development, whatever. Now, it's moving
12:06 away from solo operative affordability,
12:08 and back into the realm of only
12:10 corporate buyers. And it's not alone.
12:15 This kit of 128 GB DDR5600 was $420 and
12:17 is now the result of smoking it at
12:20 $1,000 on Newegg. And on the affordable
12:23 consumer side, this kit of 32 GB DDR5
12:25 5600 CL46, basically some of the worst
12:29 memory you could buy, was $83 and is now $261,
12:31 $261,
12:34 or an increase of $214%. This Crucial
12:38 Pro OC DDR56000 seal 36 kit was $90 and
12:43 is now $300, up 230%. This kit was $43
12:46 and is now $118, thoroughly screwing the
12:48 consumer of lower-end budget parts. And
12:50 that's without getting into laptops so
12:52 dim memory where crucial is a prevalent
12:55 and had been an important force. These
12:57 companies are [ __ ] over normal
12:59 people. It's been happening for a while
13:02 now. Yes, but not like this. Now it's in
13:05 the open. The corruption of the silicon
13:07 companies is in the open. In our
13:11 opinions, not only is our technocracy
13:13 wrought with what we think is open
13:15 corruption and conspiracy against
13:18 consumers to consolidate and move this
13:21 computing power into data centers and
13:24 so-called AI, but also open with the
13:26 United States government. This story
13:28 started about Micron, but it's sort of
13:30 about everybody in the industry. Nvidia
13:32 reportedly gave $10 million to the Trump
13:33 ballroom around the time it was in
13:35 discussions about its export control
13:37 GPUs. That's without getting into its
13:40 nearly $4 million in lobbying such as
13:43 for AI lawmaking which again AI is where
13:46 Micron is focusing. Intel CEO got cucked
13:48 by the president when he was publicly
13:50 mocked and ridiculed and just days later
13:53 sold 10% of the company to the United
13:54 States government as if through some
13:56 kind of public humiliation fetish. AMD
13:58 CEO Lisa Sue has joined other tech
14:00 billionaires like Gates Zuckerberg and
14:03 OpenAI Sam Alman and frequently joining
14:05 US government meetings to make decisions
14:07 that we think [ __ ] over the little guy
14:09 next. Micron is just the next step in
14:10 all of this. They write their press
14:13 release in just the right way where a
14:15 few corporate bootlickers can defend
14:17 them on Reddit by saying technically
14:19 they're only exiting the crucial memory
14:21 business and not consumer as a whole,
14:23 but their motives are clear and they're
14:25 not really hiding them. We bring up the
14:28 government because Micron has facilities
14:29 in the United States and they are
14:31 frequently name dropped on White House
14:34 press releases. In June of 2025, the
14:36 White House boasted of Micron's $200
14:38 billion of planned investment into fabs
14:42 and R&D such as in Idaho where Micron
14:44 says it's investing billions in domestic
14:46 R&D. Micron said it's working on a mega
14:49 fab in New York. Further stating it
14:51 intends to produce 40% of its DRAM in
14:53 the United States. Micron chairman,
14:56 president and CEO Sanjay Merotra stated,
14:57 quote, "We are grateful for the support
14:59 from President Trump, Secretary Lutnik,
15:01 and our federal, state, and local
15:03 partners who have been instrumental in
15:05 advocating domestic semiconductor
15:06 manufacturing." End quote. And in the
15:09 year of 2025, the PDA displayed between
15:11 Micron and the US government would
15:13 probably require an ID to view in 25
15:16 states. In fact, that Micron press
15:18 release included quotes from CEOs Saka
15:20 Nadella of Microsoft and Jensen Juan of
15:22 Nvidia, with the only difference being
15:23 who's shoved their head up the ass of
15:25 the government versus who has their hand
15:27 up it. All of this might be because
15:30 Micron took $275 million in additional
15:32 funding from the United States
15:34 government, part of the Chips Act
15:35 dispersements that were promised under
15:38 Biden and have continued to go out under
15:40 Trump. In its latest 10K form, Micron
15:43 said it had received up to $6.4 4
15:45 billion dollar in CHIPS act grants
15:48 across two administrations. Micron even
15:50 gets local and state tax breaks
15:52 reportedly worth up to $2 billion on
15:54 construction materials and property in
15:56 New York alone while normal people
15:58 struggle to pay property taxes on their
16:01 homes. Micron spends millions of dollars
16:03 on lobbying, including more than $4
16:05 million in 2022 during the Biden
16:08 administration and $3 million in 2025
16:10 during the second Trump administration.
16:12 This year, Micron lobbyed for higher
16:14 manufacturing tax credits, which passed
16:16 as a part of a federal spending bill and
16:18 increased an investment tax credit on
16:20 advanced semiconductor manufacturing
16:25 from 25% to 35%. Micron CEO was gleeful
16:28 given the huge jump. Micron actually has
16:29 paid tribute to the government a lot
16:31 recently in exchange for tax breaks.
16:34 Micron donated a million dollars to the
16:35 presidential inauguration committee in
16:38 January and gave an undisclosed sum of
16:40 money for the new $300 million White
16:42 House ballroom. Now, on the day when
16:44 Micron killed Crucial, Micron CEO met
16:46 with the Secretary of Commerce to talk
16:49 about presumably the American AI tech
16:51 stack. Micron's exchange of government
16:53 favors has spanned both the Biden and
16:56 the Trump administrations. The point is,
16:57 it doesn't matter which of these
17:00 presidents you hate the least or which
17:02 one you think is the sleepiest. At the
17:05 end of the day, Micron is taking money
17:07 from the American people under
17:09 bipartisan support and it is then
17:11 [ __ ] those people over by killing its
17:14 consumer-facing line of memory while
17:17 also, we think, failing to pay its fair
17:19 share. These subsidies from the
17:22 government to build fabs and do R&D come
17:25 from taxpayer money. Look, if only out
17:27 of the proportionality of the impact and
17:28 not because these mega corporations
17:31 rarely pay their fair share anyway. This
17:33 money is being taken from the taxed
17:35 people of the United States, passed
17:37 through the US government and into one
17:40 of a triop of mega corporations that
17:43 controls an industry. It then is passing
17:46 on that consolidated power into the
17:48 hands of the even fewer with its mega
17:50 corporate buyers getting priority over
17:53 the forloren consumers who themselves
17:55 footed the bill to pay for their own
17:57 economic destruction. Micron is just a
17:59 microcosm here for what's happening
18:03 right now which is a reverse Robin Hood.
18:05 These companies are taking from the many
18:07 and they're giving to the even fewer to
18:09 then take from the many again and
18:12 circulate that money in a giant [ __ ]
18:14 circle like we talked about on the GMCA
18:16 channel. All of this is without even
18:18 getting into SSD prices. For those who
18:20 don't know, the fabs responsible for
18:22 manufacturing the silicon found in
18:24 memory sticks often are the fabs that
18:27 manufacture flash for use in solid state
18:29 storage devices which are in anything
18:32 that can retain nonvolatile data like
18:34 your phone or your computer. So, it's no
18:36 surprise that this industry is next.
18:39 Crucial's SSDs have started to reflect
18:42 pricing changes already. The T705 two
18:44 terbyte drive was $200 and just after
18:48 the announcement it skyrocketed to $265.
18:50 The T500 was more widely available and
18:53 was $150 on Newegg, but is now $190 on
18:56 Newegg and $250 at Best Buy. Although
18:58 some SSD prices are still stable, like
19:01 first party supplier Samsung's 1 TB90
19:04 Pro price or its 9100 Pro price, some of
19:05 the companies buying supply are
19:09 increasing prices. MSI's 1 TB M480 went
19:13 up from 65 to $90, an increase of 38% in
19:15 120 days. In case that was a fluke,
19:18 Western Digital's SN81002 TBTE drive has
19:20 started to show a climb in price, now
19:23 $250 from $220
19:27 ago. Teams G50 has gone up to $200 on
19:31 Newegg, up from $106 3 months ago. The
19:34 PNY CS9002 TB SSD, that's highly ranked
19:37 on Newegg, is now $153, up from $100
19:39 three months ago, a 53% increase. The
19:41 memory industry has been described as a
19:44 quote cartel by prosecutors and by the
19:47 justice system decades ago. And that's
19:49 interesting because the government has
19:51 made clear what it thinks should happen
19:54 to cartels. But there's one kind of
19:56 cartel that doesn't get bombed from
19:59 orbit. Corporate. And in our opinions,
20:01 they're still acting like a cartel.
20:02 That's what we think for this particular
20:05 kind of cartel. It seems the bipartisan
20:07 decision is to shovel as much money into
20:09 it as possible. That money may have come
20:12 from taxpayers using unmaintained
20:14 infrastructure and struggling to pay for
20:16 healthcare. But as long as stock line go
20:18 up, everything is according to plan. And
20:20 frustratingly, these facts have pretty
20:22 much always been true throughout the
20:24 entire existence of a taxpayer funded
20:27 economy. It's not news. But what feels
20:29 particularly bad about this one is the
20:32 fact that in the very least for normal
20:34 people, it felt like it was money being
20:37 given to a company that would at least
20:41 sell its [ __ ] to consumers and hopefully
20:44 help create a competitive market in the
20:47 system that we have. And now they're
20:48 saying they don't care about that
20:50 anymore for at least their own division.
20:53 Memory is in everything. In a recent
20:55 report from South Korean publication SE
20:57 Daily, one line of Samsung phones was
20:59 cited as having its memory cost
21:01 doubling, which will be passed on to
21:03 consumers. You don't even have to build
21:04 gaming computers to notice the memory
21:06 pricing impact. The memory industry's
21:09 changes will be felt by everybody.
21:11 Micron abandoning consumers is just the
21:13 literal manifestation of what's already
21:15 happened silently. Anyone who buys a
21:18 phone, a refrigerator, a car, a
21:22 smartwatch, a smart lock, a computer, a
21:24 laptop, a tablet, any of these things
21:26 that have memory in it, you will be
21:29 affected in some way by the price. This
21:32 will be universal for basically anyone
21:34 who buys modern electronics. All of
21:36 these things will be affected by the
21:37 memory industry as it abuses its
21:41 consolidated power to chase the elucory
21:43 promise of a two-lettered intelligence.
21:45 There's no high note to end on here.
21:47 There's no positive side to this.
21:50 There's no optimistic outcome of what
21:52 Micron and these other companies are
21:55 actively doing and we think conspiring
21:58 to do. Uh Micron is the first of many to
22:01 signal its abandonment of normal people.
22:03 This isn't just about consumers now.
22:05 Like this is stuff that everybody needs
22:09 in their daily life. If you're living in
22:11 any kind of modern society where you
22:13 might need to interact at some point
22:16 with an electronic device and if you're
22:18 someone who uses electronics, this is
22:20 going to affect you and it will do so
22:22 increasingly. We are at the point I
22:25 think where it's beyond simply just
22:28 moving software like Adobe Photoshop to
22:29 a cloud-based system so you can't buy it
22:31 anymore. you have to use a license
22:33 indefinitely and now moving everything
22:35 into those systems. They call it AI
22:37 today and today that's what they're
22:40 chasing. It's LLMs and whatever the [ __ ]
22:42 they think that's going to do at the end
22:45 of the road for when AI becomes
22:46 profitable for these companies. But if
22:49 that doesn't work out or in the event it
22:50 actually does and they want to
22:52 substitute more revenue in there, then
22:54 software as a service remains a viable
22:55 option for data centers. That's what
22:57 they're set up to do. So they might
23:01 process a search query on chat GPT today
23:04 or a request for chat GPT erotica from
23:06 Sam Alman himself in the future. But
23:09 what they can also do is continue
23:11 processing your daily computing needs in
23:13 those data centers while making the
23:15 hardware impossible for you to buy
23:16 because you can't [ __ ] afford it
23:18 because they bought it all. That's where
23:20 I think this is going and it is
23:23 infuriating to see. There's no positive
23:26 I can take away from this. I think the
23:28 only lever consumers have that they can
23:31 pull is to stop buying.
23:34 But it doesn't work that way. Like
23:36 organizing a boycott is difficult,
23:38 rarely has successes, and people still
23:40 need this stuff to live. So it's not
23:42 always an option. It's not that simple.
23:44 Especially considering the greedy data
23:46 centers are happy to buy whatever you don't.
23:48 don't.
23:50 They don't care. All the money is
23:51 imaginary anyway. It's all investor
23:54 money. It flows in a circle. So, it's
23:55 going to be there for them whether or
23:57 not it's there for you. That's all we
23:59 have to say about this one. You can
