Voting with your wallet only works if theres a choice.

Everytime you buy a printer, you're voting for more of this BS.

There still are printers that don't require an Internet connection

There is always a choice, life without a printer is possible.

I bought a Xerox Phaser 3610 years ago, and it still works great. How did I vote for this?

You didn't. But can you go out and vote for a Zerox Phaser 3610 today?

For HP, I vote with the absence of money. If their silly services aren't selling well, they'll likely discontinue them. If I'm using a printer that isn't HP, then they don't see money from that, either.
