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.
