This is a much more nuanced take than the headlines implies.

Are you saying journalists will publish articles with inflammatory headlines to maximize engagement with their ad-based website funding? Nah way, I don believe it.

Just as an FYI editors usually pick the headlines.

I still see it being an issue of pricing and questionable value (over older/used/already-owned) of a bottlenecked part, particularly when it ends up with users who aren’t esports users (for a multitude of reasons). In other words: stagnation.

It’s more obvious with AMD selling new 4GB cards still in the budget category rather than ultra-budget, as in they aren’t raising the floor. The jokes still work:

Sheen (from the show Jimmy Neutron) as AMD holding a GPU in the air: "This is the 6500XT!" Teacher: "AMD, this is the 5th year in a row that you've launched the RX 480"

EDIT: There were even polaris GPUs with 8GB
