I wonder what will happen to all the data-center-specialized hardware when the demand falls through the floor. SOMEONE will buy it, the question is what will people figure out how to use it for despite it not being like ordinary consumer hardware.

Ad targeting, spam campaigns, dark propaganda.

Of course. People who have money and don't need to make money will use it.
