discussion Scalper bots are now scraping DDR5 memory supply chains

[LaughingCrow]

Automated scrapers are crawling everything from retail kits to DIMM sockets and industrial DDR5 suppliers

AI data centers are swallowing so much of the world's memory output that automated scalping operations are now crawling the supply chain itself, from retail DDR5 kits to industrial-grade modules and connector components. A recent campaign uncovered by bot-mitigation firm DataDome shows how web scrapers tuned for RAM pricing can quietly hit product pages tens of thousands of times per hour while staying just under conventional defense thresholds.

Im honestly just going to stay on AM4 and DDR4, for a long, long time. All my games work well enough, high settings, etc with my 6+ year old hardware. Screw the scalpers, screw ddr5 inflation, no one is getting a penny from me until things calm down in a big way... if ever.
