Adobe Deletes Bluesky Posts After Furious Backlash

Adobe’s unpopularity can be traced back to a decision it made over 10 years ago when it shifted from perpetual software licensing to subscription pricing.
I've heard people shitting on Adobe since CS3 and I started shitting on them at CS4. Adobe acquiring Flash was such a dark moment for so many creators.
Yeah the subscription might have been the icing on the cake but their anticompetitive practices have been pissing people off for much longer.
I gotta be honest too, I'd be a lot happier paying Adobe a monthly fee if they seemed more serious about actual updates and bug fixes instead of just jamming more AI 'features' down our throats.
There are two bugs in Illustrator alone that have been following me around for years, unfixed.
Proud user of GIMP and DaVinci Resolve. These tools work great, and I really don't see a reason why I would want to switch to anything else.
Fuck Adobe.
Happy user of Affinity Designer here, so great to not be paying Adobe any more subscription fees, screw them.
The right decision. Affinity platform is getting better and better. Using the beta version now and it is smooth and smart. Never miss Adobe anymore.
Yeah it took me a few moments of learning to get over my old Adobe learned habits, but I’m all accustomed to it now and like it a lot.
For those that want Photoshop functionality and controls for free:
No idea why that site isn't more well known.
I guess people prefer having an actual executable program instead of a browser page
Delicious.
I love it.
I guess people want to own the product than paying for a subscription like we used to.
And yet, Adobe keeps making money. Someone's paying for it and it isn't non artists...
