Don’t say your opinion online, or angry people will downvote you and “shame” you to death. People, are we allowed to say what we feel? No, not really. It’s just an echo chamber, as much as it is in society. I thought the internet was supposed to be a place for freaks and geeks to get a chance to say what they feel instead of being silenced like we are so readily in reality. Such a shame.

To be honest with you Adobe was great. I don’t mean to be a piece of shit or anything, but I think too many people were pirating their software, and they started figuring out workarounds for that. I really don’t get where they’re at now. I haven’t used their software for years. I did own it (still do I suppose) when it existed a hundred years back. I think I was the only one I knew who did. Yet I knew a lot of people who worked with Photoshop and Illustrator. Mind you, I think Adobe can suck rocks. I just felt like the “Tragedy of the Commons” or something like that happened because they couldn’t figure out how to get more people to just buy the software. Mind you they were charging and arm, a leg, and some ass for it even then. I think when they created Lightroom that was a move in the right direction. Different tiered software for different needs. Also I know a lot of people who couldn’t afford it pirated and gained a great variety of skills. That people will always be out here bootlegging to their hearts content. It’s just I feel their move to a service based software was basically to fight their inability to control piracy. It was one of the first that I remember seeing, and it sadly became pretty much the predominant way all companies stay afloat nowadays. (Siphoning funds from people like mosquitoes)

Just to clarify one more time - I am not pro subscription based services nor am I pro Adobe. I do however understand Capitalism demands the wheel be turned.
