I cancelled all company subscriptions to Adobe after going through their cancellation process and realizing they were just straight up scamming me. Just no. Love me in don’t lock me in you fools. We just stopped doing business with them. Then they bought figma. And we had to figure out how to divest ourselves of Figma, which we are doing slowly. I really think they control too much of the market. Adobe needs to stop behaving badly.

> Adobe needs to stop behaving badly. Are there any good examples of a major company where a non-founder CEO was able to put off seeking profit in exchange for a "lofty" goal like this?

  India's TaTa Group? From memory, they donate 2/3rd of profits to selected charities. Patagonia is similar, but I believe founding-CEO-directed. As for Adobe — GFk'd! I'm still keeping CS4 alive, offline, on legacy hardware =D

    Yeah, it really seems like without the gravitas of being a founding CEO, or having some sort of mandate from the board, attempting to do "the right thing" seems impossible in nearly all corps. I just realized this, and this possibly tangential, but the board with the biggest mandate in modern history, OpenAI, just tried to do "the right thing." Those people/ideas are now gone, and yesterday OpenAI announced a partnership with Axel Springer, Germany's version of News Corp, a hyper-political entity. I have a hard time believing that this would have occurred under the previous regime.
