  • Why I cancelled my adobe subscription.
    I've been unhappy for quite some time with how they treat their customers. This recent IP rights issue is the final straw that caused me to finally cancel after years of using their software.

    I stopped using it when they switched from buy software to rent it.

    I cancelled mine too and bought the Affinity suite. I'm never going back.

    Adobe's subscription model is a complete scam.

    It's important to vote with your wallet, especially when it comes to cutthroats like Adobe. Yet, I'm bamboozled that you jump from one horrendous sub straight to another. Comparing the functions, that Canva sub sounds even more outrageous than a Photoshop sub. Why not give Affinity a shot? Granted, they've sold out as well, but at this point they're still the best alternative out there.

      I used Canva as an example because it's a platform I've personally been using for the past year.
      It's really easy to use, has great templates and is perfect for what I need (basic thumbnail editing).
      I hadn't heard of Affinity until this week.
      It looks very promising, I think I'm going to make the switch over to their software fairly soon.

    Photoshop to canva is a massive downgrade on my part. Just pirate photoshop and cut off its network access.

    I wish people cared about government over-reach as much as they care about Adobe over-reach.
    If they did, we would live in a world that is 10x better than today's world.
    The irony of the government suing a private company for unfair practises is beyond rich - like the pot calling the kettle black.

      So true.
      You'll probably find people do care but it comes down to perceived circle of influence.
      It's much easier to cancel a subscription service like Adobe in protest.
      It's much harder to opt out of government overreach like mass survelience, infinite money printing, etc
