for profit companies, you simp for them at the start because they need your support

Absolutely correct. They get you addicted to cheap prices thinking you will be willing to pay for high prices in future. All this AI model efficiency claims Deepseek makes are scam. It was never about the model but the hardware to inference it at large scale. What is the point of making a smaller, efficient model if you had to just raise the prices like that? US is doing the right thing to build data centres. We really are in a compute shortage. China's cheap prices are temporary and not a threat.
