All the shilling for Brother, both here and on Reddit, is crazy.

It seems people are reporting that Brother has stared rejecting third party ink.

Maybe there is Brother astroturfing going on, but I've had a similar excellent experience with a Brother LaserJet. It uses 3rd party toner and drums without a problem, rarely jams, prints high volume quickly, is stupid simple to install, and has no software lock.

This seems to be a recent development so people who bought a borther 5 or more years ago won't have run into that bs yet (like who updates their printer firmware, seriously).

So its more likely genuine users (that includes me) recommending products that have worked well for them.
