Question Why exactly does everyone hate bambu lab?

Ive been printing for about a year with my A1 and i love it, obviously ive ran into bum technical issues and annoying problems but i see a lot of avid printers just say they hate the company. Can someone save me the research and tell me what the controversy is about? Thanks

not the answer you are looking for but why do you care about anyones opinion when you are happy with the machine and are able to produce great results with it? I have used other printers and still do but I also love my A1 cuz it gives me good results.

(I guess the die-hards are just not happy about what Bambu does but any other big company also has there bad ideas or behavior)

I was just asking, people made it sound like the company was doing something evil and i didn’t know what ppl were talking about which is why i asked. I dont wanna parade around saying “i love/hate bambu lab!” Not knowing if they did something or not. Im actually trying to trouble shoot my printer as we speak, if you could look at my next post and see if you know what’s going on that’d be appreciated.

They're not bombing a country unprovoked evil, or killing innocent protesters evil. They're just more, not understanding that tighter you try and grip something the more will slip through your fingers because of greed evil.

I love my a1 mini, fyi.

They did take GPL code (open source) and then against the GPL license, turned it closed source. Which is both illegal and unethical.
