I've never seen much hate for Canva until this thread. HN will really hate on any kind of acquisition, regardless of if the acquirer is a "big bad" like Adobe

- bluescrn 3y agoIt’s not about hate for Canva. It’s about love for Affinity. Who are now being gobbled up by a bigger fish, with the inevitable consequence being enshittification.
- punkbit 3y agoMost comments seem to be from Affinity customers. I've been a customer for many years. They have incredible software, and it's extremely sad because past acquisitions seem to destroy the applications people like and support, not the other way around. Canva looks like McDonalds.
- omgmajk 3y agoIt's not really hard to see why though. Software which only real saving grace is a better license model than the bigger fish gets bought by another bigger fish to ultimately, most likely, get put in the same license model.
