Adobe to automatically move subscribers to pricier, AI-focused tier in June

Sometimes you'll post things and it'll go down badly. It's okay. You didn't say anything malicious, you just offered your personal point of view. People disagreed and that's okay. People don't agree with my points and opinions all the time. Sometimes hearing new points of view, changes my own, other times I think the whole world is stupid. But at least I took part. Thank you for your previous contribution, even though you deleted it. This on the other hand, is bullshit and unhelpful.

Bee Nice.

Adobe wanted to be pirated, they priced their product out of reach of everyone except professionals. The only way they got new users was people who grew up using cracked copies.

If they wanted to sell to everyone they would have lowered the prices decades ago. For the longest time it was cheaper to fly half across the world to the US, buy Photoshop and fly back to Australia than it was to buy the software here.

Adobe's '90s pricing made the definition of "usury" insufficient. Things did not improve.

I still run CS6. I've little reason to use it these days, but I don't have to pay monthly to open an old file. What they did by switching to a subscription model in my case was lose a customer for life.

With all the ATS bullshit, I ended up having to go back to Word because neither LinkedIn nor Indeed could parse my InDesign resume. Both would tie incorrect roles with dates and job descriptions because "PDFs are hard" essentially.
