    It’s okay for companies to make money. But the problem right now is that simply making profit isn’t acceptable for shareholders. You need to make the maximum profit possible and keep it growing.

    So here we are right now with subscription based printer.

      Yea, and what I mean is that customers should reject this crap and not buy such products. But we know that only a few actually care, most will just get dragged along, and eventually they’ll wear us down and subscription ink and whatever other nonsense will be normalised.

      It’s always like that. Look how hard have videogames devolved into just being monetisation schemes in the last couple years.
