> I'm going to play devil's advocate and say that people probably need to either be more honest, or need to pay more attention. Neither the Devil nor Adobe need an advocate, but maybe you could help Adobe out with the Justice Department law suit around subscription dark patterns[1]? That signup page you took a screen shot of is the current version, older ones had more dark patterns and definitely were not as clear, hence the Justice Department law suit.

>Neither the Devil nor Adobe need an advocate Civilization needs advocates against users being intentionally, misleadingly dense. >That signup page you took a screen shot of is the current version It is the version of the page that the FTC sued Adobe about. Adobe hasn't changed it. Feel free to cite the complaint - https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/032-RedactedComplaint-REPLACEMENT.pdf https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/032-RedactedCom... I'll help by posting a screenshot of the FTC's screenshot- https://imgur.com/a/DQXYAN8 https://imgur.com/a/DQXYAN8 Page 8 from the complaint. Precisely the same disclaimers and selections. Adobe has used this same format for three+ years. And no, the FTC filing a complaint -- responding to people doing the "woe am I...I am the victim for my carelessness" doesn't mean it has merit. Something got some congresspeople's to complaint to the FTC so they did something. And Adobe will probably just abolish discounting to make them go away.
