HP has been a shitty company for decades. Why do people still buy things from them? They are dead to me.

I'm in IT. I get cold called by VAR trying to sell me HPE here and there. I tell them straight up I won't buy HP cause of their business practices.

It's my understanding their enterprise products are still good. It's the consumer products which suck

People who buy HP products get what they deserve.

I don't think that's fair. Plenty of people in this world do not know much about computers or the internet or anything in that area and just need a printer. So they go to their local big box store and there's the HP printers and they're a good deal, so they buy them.

Consumers do not get what they deserve when companies treat them like shit just because they don't have certain knowledge.
