Do you see this guy ?
His name is Shantanu Narayen. Chairman and CEO of Adobe Software.
In 2023, he made $43 million dollars.
I would argue that the open source alternatives to much of adobe software suite is better and free so fuck Adobe
You would be wrong. There is nothing close to Photoshop and many others. Sadly that is the case.
Well at least we have alternative for maya= blender ,premier = davinci resolve,about Photoshop yeah there no same level powerful tools the closest I used is krita.
Still worth it.
I’d rm -rf my computer rather than using adobi*** products.
Serif has entered the chat.
Yay Serif. Although, aren't they Canva nowadays?
Yes but so far no signs of enshitification as far as I can tell. I’m itching to switch to them but Adobe keeps roping me in. The thing that was holding me back the most was the lack of ai tools like erasing backgrounds and selecting subjects but it looks like they just added those features in February. So it looks like I’ll be evaluating who my graphic software provider for then year will be by the end of this month.
Yep
“Trump and his damn tariffs made us do this!!” /s
Wouldn’t have noticed. 😏

It won’t stop until creatives stop paying.
There are alternative tools available, but the number of people I have seen not want to learn a new UI is high. Adobe knows this, so they continue to raise prices.

I mean it’s not just not wanting to learn a new UI. It’s that a company uses Adobe as it’s standard so if you don’t have experience with it they won’t hire you. And if you try to come in using a different tool they’re just gonna end up forcing you to use Adobe.
