The Ethereum dev team was initially planning to activate the difficulty bomb din December, but client releases are still not ready for the POS merger, so a new Ethereum Improvement Proposal was created to delay things until June 2022. This may have repercussions on the GPU supply, as miners will continue to hoard cards until the end of 2022.

Ethereum merge was not delayed. There was never an official release date until Tim tweeted this timeline. Cut your sensationalized titles and do proper research.
Ok Einstein no one care about eth anyway its finished. Delays are the signal its failing. Massive crypto crash coming.
It is so disappointing that at times when most banks and funds promote themselves as environmentally friendly, we are experiencing a huge hype around PoW cryptocurrencies and no media, celebrities, politicians, and above all the young western liberal/leftist investors seem to care. I try to invest only in PoS coins but it is often difficult/expensive as even exchanges prefer Ethereum over others and they are either more complicated or even impossible to buy.
