    How mich margin is enough?.Gamers nexus just did a video on Micron’s gross margins, and its absolutely disgusting. Its gone from mid 30% to 90% in some of their divisions in a few years.

          Increasing prices is a valid instrument to reduce demand. They are far beyond their capacity.

            But the prices never come back down, unfortunately

              That depends. If it turns into the other direction that they have much less demand than they produce, they have to reduce prices until enough people buy again so “it keeps flowing”.

      So it outpaced the profit margins of scientific publishing? Damn! And that article is from 2020 and cited it as 40% for Elsevier, it certainly went up since but surely not to 90%.
