I assume OP was referring to the bricked printers

  Nothing bricks the printer. The title is misleading. If: A) You have subscribed to HP Instant Ink and B) You stop paying for your subscription The ink you have in your home as part of that subscription will no longer work in your printer. You can use other ink in the printer. The printer is not bricked. It simply disables the revocable license you were paying for to use the ink in the cartridges they shipped you. They sell cartridges that don't have this model. Whether or not the model is dumb or the idea that the ink "stops working" if you stop paying makes one chafe, the printer itself does not magically turn into a paperweight. (And the ink is supposed to be returned to HP.)

    There is zero doubt that some people will throw away their printers and buy new ones. Why? Because it stopped working.

      People already do that, ink is so expensive and printers are such a loss lead that people often just buy a new printer
