stephancasas · x · 2026-11-12
- Developer Steph Casas blasts Adobe's onboarding: Photoshop 2013 was pay $50 and use it; Photoshop 2026 means paying $70, sitting through Creative Cloud promos, sign-out loops, an update, "1728 background services," and an NPS survey.
- The attached screenshot shows Premiere, After Effects and Media Encoder v26.5.3 updates all failing.
- The thread is resonating as a broader indictment of Adobe's subscription-era bloat and price hikes.
