Actively encouraging people to toss perfectly good hardware to fuel their subscription bullshit… and these guys weren’t even recently bought by a VC firm or anything?

They were bought by Electrolux in 2017, and have been enshittifying ever since. Cheaper, lower quality parts, etc. They're just profiting from the brand as they turn it to shit. Never buy their products.
