    You’re missing the point, it’s not one unified community, it’s lots of people with differing opinions about a common interest. I doubt either of us can be bothered to sift through hundreds of users post history but I doubt anyone calling for boycotts also posted their new GPUs.

      No it isn’t a unified community. But how can the upvote ratio of 5:2 for Nvidia boycott also make sense in the same community a few months later where “I just bought an RTX 4090 TI” is around 7:2.

      No, everyone isn’t an actual hivemind, but the likelyhood that every single person who updooted “New RTX card :)” posts didn’t updoot “Boycott nuhvideo :(” posts is ludicrous.
