But half of their modern printers require a monthly paid subscription to even function. They need to stop doing that.

The ink plan isn't required, you can still use regular cartridges.

But they do require you create an account and register the printer before it will function with their newer consumer printers.

Wait, what? I've never heard about this before. It doesn't change my mind that HP can go fuck themselves. I boycott because they have shit products and customer support. And I tell everyone I meet about it. Imagine me as a CrossFit vegan, only with an unhealthy hatred for HP.
