So the upscaling tech will only work on niche upper-high-end/halo cards, which don't need it?
Neat. Good use of resources, Nvidia, thanks for passing that cost onto your customers.
I look forward to when it gets added to Control, so I can enjoy shill youtubers acting like we will literally die without it.

I can already see the clickbait thumbnails in my head: Poorly groomed, poorly photoshopped millennial millionaires making a goofy face in front of an ultra-saturated primary color background. An image layout that is algorithmically engineered to sell product to children.
Title: "We weren't ready for this ..."
Delightful. Not tired, predictable, or irritating at all.

What a coincidence that the next version of DLSS only works with the "new" more expensive cards coming out
Nvidia knows they are price gouging on the next gen and needs more bait to get fishies to bite

Beat the trend, do it yourself before they do. Profit.

Nvidia looking you in the face & saying RTX 4060 or 4050 have more tensor performance than 3090 Ti.
Of course, finally now that a lot more have bought 3000 series after 2 years of unavailability, the best move is to lock newer features for newer cards, since there are no technical details on the surface it definitely sounds like Nvidia being a scumbag, like always.

I would love to, but I unfortunately my internet number is not big enough, so I'm not entitled to "unlimited free product", nor "Early access to product", nor "Direct access to the management and staff of the companies hiring youtubers to sell product" nor "any access whatsoever to even basic customer support or IP/copyright protection from YouTube".
Also, YouTube does not allow people to find content made by small channels. In the rare cases people do find your small channel, YT will immediately autoplay into a "related" video from a big channel over the other videos from the series. Most non-YouTube sites get pretty mad when you try to give people an external way to find your content. So I can't even directly link anybody to what I'm talking about.
It wouldn't matter if I had a complete exclusive to beat people to the trend. The first "preferred partner" to repost, react, or comment about that exclusive would likely outperform my original video by at least 10,000 to 1. People may even credit that celebrity influencer for having the exclusive.
I actually did the math recently. If my time investment had been paid like my engineering salary, Then would be close to paying YT around $200 per each of my ~750 subscribers. Close to $150k in labor over 18 months (mostly editing) with $5-$10k invested in equipment, software, building out my studio space, etc. That investment does not show on screen, and it has not brought in even a single cent in revenue.
I would be closer to breaking even if I had bought into a literal Ponzi scheme.

I can afford an expensive life-consuming hobby like that, but I feel really bad for the kids who think hat they can just grab a camera and turn this into, like, an actual job. It doesn't work that way, especially post-covid. YouTube requires you to be an incredibly well-connected insider with a team of people to support you, just like Hollywood or anywhere else in the big money entertainment/celebrity/arts industry. One of the most common way to get that support, is by being directly and indirectly paid by the companies selling the tech products you review.

Bringing me back to my original point: any YouTube reviewer that anybody has ever heard of is just shilling for money and access. They all do slightly different versions of the same mental gymnastics to justify it to themselves, but it still is what it is.
Nvidia buys a heckton of ad reads on many channels, so you'd better believe these people are going to treat their new expensive tech like the second coming of GabeN, even though it won't even be available to 99.9% of gamers for the forseeable future. Games occasionally support current DLSS 2, but DLSS 3, I'm not so sure.

Yes...put your latest upscaling technology...into cards that don't need it...and double the asking price as a result.

My commiserations to NVidia engineers who designed this to take advantage of the new hardware when the NVidia marketing men come around in a few months and tell them to "just make this work!" with older cards... I know how it feels to be told to do something stupid by idiot, ignorant upper management and marketing.

I see and understand you are passionate about content creation, however, not everyone that is a reviewer on youtube is shilling for companies. For instance Gamers Nexus is reasonably independent. There are not many who are as good but Project Farm is also a relatively unbiased reviewer of tools and the such. Many things you have said are in general true, but also not necessarily fair to what people have made their channels into. People only do things in a certain way because it works and they are incentivized to do so monetarily. The idea that you need to have contacts and luck to succeed on Youtube or even Twitch is not true as a whole. Certainly it helps to get lucky with a collaboration or you were in the right place at the right time with a video, but that is not the whole picture. I believe Ludwig made a separate YouTube channel anonymously to prove as much and it did well.
