I understand not everyone is able to get rid of Adobe and their eco-system immediately, but I had the last straw after 1) they slapped a cloud integration on top of perfectly working offline softwares and labelling it Creative Cloud, fucking over existing customers who had prepaid offline licenses and 2) they got hacked and a lot of their customers's credit card info was stolen and many of them had fraudulent transactions on their cards (including mine). They didn't even do a proper disclosure until it blew right in their face.
I thought they would have changed by now, several years later. Turns out, they secretly modified the TOS to steal their customers' intellectual property - content the customers have invested 1000s of dollars into, simply because of the usage of creative cloud to train their AI models. That too, blew up in their face. I am not sure why anyone would even trust or use Adobe in 2025. Honestly.
I have since then switched to the Affinity Suite (serif.com) and never looked back. So, for what it's worth, fuck Adobe and I hope they burn to the ground with their scammy practices.
- Tommix11 2y agoI don't think anyone in their right mind has ever trusted Adobe, they were like this in the 80's too.
- egeozcan 2y agoAffinity Photo is amazing. I'll never switch back to Photoshop, but I also wish it loaded a bit more quickly (solid 15 seconds on a pc with an SSD and a 3950x. not that PS was much better or anything, but one can wish).
- surfingdino 2y agoYou forget content "moderation" with AI, which can result in getting banned from using Adobe products and reported to the authorities if their AI "thinks" you are breaking law.
- neya 2y agoDamn, I didn't know this!
