Hi Just an update to my uh, main channel video I just did. I'll link it in if you haven't seen it. about how a Dymo have absolutely destroyed their reputation and business by being the first in the industry to introduce Drm Digital Rights Management into their labels to force you into using their brand labels, you can no longer use any third-party labels at all if you buy the new 500 or 5xl series printers from Dymo and only an absolute fool would buy a Dymo printer now. and they're getting absolutely hammered in the reviews.

Um, for their printers. Here's just an Australian site and they're just getting one star Reviews all over the shop and domo are desperately trying to respond, um, you know they they respond to everything you know, trying to say, oh, it's it's for your own good that we're doing this. You know to have a better customer experience. Wank wank, wait again, they're absolutely making fools of themselves.

Anyway, if you thought that it was sneaky enough that the bastards were doing Drm in their Uh printers now in their Uh paper, their labels. Well, thanks to the Um viewer on Uh, my previous video, that um, pointed this out, they discovered that on Amazon, they found it on Amazon Uk. But if we go over to Amazon Us, look what the Sneaky Bastards have done. Okay, here's the new 550 Turbo laser printer, right? This is seems to be the official Dymo store, right? The official listing for the 550 and it's got 943 ratings? You know? Look, it's got a 4.3 Okay, so you know this is what you'd expect for any product.

You know, most any decent product you'd expect. You know, mostly. Uh, thumbs up. And then you know you know a mix of others and a few disgruntled people because I don't know they couldn't use it or had some bad experience or whatever.

But what they've done is these are not new ratings. What they've done is they've reused their old fire of 450 listing with all those good reviews going back years and they've simply replaced it. They've renamed it, relabeled it, uploaded the new photos, new text, everything else. So they keep all their old good reviews.

Because if you actually go down to the ratings down here, check it out. Look all of the new reviews. Nope. 143 people found it useful, does not work with old labels or third-party labels.

Doesn't work. 116 people found it use 119. Less functionality than Dymo 400 series it. I'm just so frustrated at Label Bully.

Dymo is no longer a viable label printing option. But look, if you actually scroll past this okay, you get from June 2020. Handy Tool April 3rd, 2019. This product wasn't released.

I think it was released like the latter half of 2020 last year. So it's been out like six months at most or something like this. So all these old reviews February 2021. But all these good reviews are for the old look.

It even has it in the title Dymo 450 The Bastards are have reused their listing because they know that they're going to get absolutely hammered. This is not by accident. This is very deliberate. They have deliberately reused their old listings so that they can get that.

Keep all their old good ratings because most people won't scroll down. They'll just go by this. Although you know they might even mouse over it something like that or you accidentally mouse over it and you know that people just going to go by that. Oh yeah, Dymo, I've heard of them.

They're pretty good. Like this gets like, you know, four and a halfish stars. And yeah, I'll get that. And then you get locked in for life on their labels.

Um, because there's just no compatible labels out there. Nobody's cloned the Rfid chip inside the roll yet. And they're more like industrial. Uh, four by six inch size label printer.

The Five Xl. They've done exactly the same thing. look 3718 ratings. Look at this.

You think this is pretty Schmick label printer right? For you know you use these are these bigger wider ones for your like a Dhl and Ups or whatever shipping labels. I use a zebra printer for this. I don't use a Dymo for this and I never use a Dymo again. This is just unbelievable.

Anyway, they've done exactly the same thing down here if you look at all of the new things. So yep, I'm going to say this is helpful. Yep. New Rfid chip that Dymo design forces you to buy their labels.

Not joking. You cannot use any labels but Dymo which are 300 more in price. I actually looked, um, in my previous video 10 times order of magnitude, more price. and that's just like a local ebay seller, Let alone if you're buying bulk from like a wholesaler or something like that, there's probably like two orders of magnitude difference in the price.

Unbelievable. So here is why I gave this product a one star and that was pretty generous and as you can see reviews dating back to 2016. Busted. Unbelievable.

The sheer balls on them. you almost have to take your hat off, right? This is very clever. Reuse your old listing, keep all your old good ratings, and then just shove this new Drm technology and force people into using your new labels and base them on your old reviews. Unbelievable.

Unbelievable. If Dymo couldn't get any worse, there you go. Catch you next time.
