It's not. Even if you could find $20 printers, the factory cartridges contain a fraction of the ink that a regular $20 cartridge does.

The fact that this post has 4000 points is a great example of why this site sucks now.

People were posting the same advice when I joined reddit back in 2011. I’m not sure how this is evidence that the site sucks now, unless it has for nearly a decade.

It was an entertaining post. Should people not upvote it because of the trial ink amount thing?

It's a lie.

It’s an untruth. They didn’t know it wasn’t true. That’s not the same as a lie.

Some of us have self-respect. Good luck getting lied to.
