I hope Adobe dies and becomes a warning to others - sorry, a "case study" - that is taken seriously. I adored Photoshop, starting with version 3, and watched in horror as Adobe stripped itself for parts. The damage is done, but hopefully we can still get some good out of this if it makes other companies realize that abandoning your users is a death sentence.
I’m sure the 40 years of people utilizing Adobe as an investment vehicle to make money would definitely be a warning to all the other upstarts who hope to completely monopolize an industry for four decades.
The scummy subscription dark patterns like "sign up to the $50pm plan but also it's a yearly agreement with termination fees teehee" show utter contempt for customers.
They're probably finished and will end up going the way of Evernote.

Virtually all companies these days are just monopolizing. It’s all they have.
All we care about is decades of nostalgia with the same pen tool. Don’t get it twisted Adobe.
