    I had to pay a fine for 3 months cost (30€ for me) but i can only keep the product for half a month. Absolutely disgusting attitude against longterm customers.

    Absolutely disgusting attitude by adobe. Cancellationfees on monthly subscriptions and adobe attempting to use my work amd watch my private photos is absolutely unacceptable. Any pronor semiprofessional photographer should understand that it is a gross breach of most contracts to have product, modelling or boudoir photography shared with a third party where they can freely use amd watch that content. And even worse when it comes to photos of my girlfriend or nude photography. Absolutely unacceptable. I unsubscribed and suggest all to do thte same. This monopoly is power was grossly misused and we must show them that this is not okay. This was done without my knowledge. I never noticed this until after the drama started. And i was hit hard ny this. It hurts. I have had real clients shared with adobe and private stuff too.

    Adobe is NOT transparent with their subscription model. Had I known that I would have to pay a massive cancellation fee, I never would have signed up to their subscription model for Adobe Premiere Pro. I just wanted to try the product for some personal projects. I ended up paying through the nose, including a final $110 CAD cancellation fee. I would never recommend anyone do business with this predatory company.

    There's your problem right there! You have lots of experience. I've 27+ years experience of UX Design and Graphic Design - the current working world doesn't care about your experience, they want sheeples in roles. You being passionate about good design and business actually gets in the way of their progress.

    Yo Kevin--what an interesting video! I got so interested in your methods & insights I almost lost the main thread. You really do have creative ways of dissecting an issue. Your analysis seems like equal parts semantics, linguistics, and psychology. I lack your education and nuance, so I tend to focus on simpler, more tangible behaviors. "Dark Patterns", for example, provide insight into company culture. The slimy practice of making it easy to subscribe, but very difficult to unsubscribe, isn't nuanced at all: it is contempt for customers driven by shameless, unbridled greed. Adobe views their customers as idiot peons to be fleeced--bugs beneath their feet. When a business traps customers in this manner I immediately envision Scrooge McDuck, swimming happily in a pool of gold coins. I use Adobe at work, just for documents, because they provide it for free and because I have no choice. At home I use anything but--mostly open source software. My simple, untrained mind has Adobe's number loud & clear--they are a den of greedy, larcenous, double-talking con-artists. They will never get a penny out of me. You, on the other hand, have won another sub. Cheers!

    Wow, I think a lot of people missed this auto turned on option for ai models, that's even worse than what I've seen already. Thanks for catching this. That said, all of Adobe's videos to react to this situation have been full of gaslighting and condescension. And at the end you even said this is not about ownership, and technically this is true. But Adobe gives themselves licence to do pretty much anything they want that's on their cloud servers, that you work on, and even what you import. I'm not sure you understand how far reaching their licence rights are. If they have global, never ending non revocable licences to your work what's the difference in this an owning it. And no I didn't hear it from someone, I'm quite literate and know how to read licence term. So your comments at the end I found very patronizing.

    It doesn't matter whether or not they own the work. That just highlights that they are giving themselves the right to freely use work not owned by them as if they own it, hence the framing "they basically owns YOUR work".

    In my opinion, the only way out of this situation is a real alternative to Adobe. Not Gimp, not Affinity etc. We need software that really offers a high professional level. And we don't see that yet. So Adobe will continue to work like a monopolist :(. The biggest problem is Photoshop and InDesign. The other programs can be replaced in some way.

    Dude…I’m glad you had TikTok success…but I’m really surprised at how poorly you’ve grown on YT, because it should have been easier for you, and I think in the part it would have been. I’m glad I found your channel even if I don’t completely agree with your takes…you make sound arguments with evidence, and that’s what matters most to me, not agreement. Keep on keeping on 👍🏻 you remind me of how glad I am that I stopped shooting weddings back in my 30s! They’re fun…but exhausting.

    I get that you can’t get some things outside Adobe software, but those of us who are stuck using their tools are definitely in an abusive relationship. I could easily walk away from Photoshop and never look back…however, I am stuck with Lightroom because I have invested so much time into the product to manage my library and it would take an enormous amount of time and effort to get out. So sadly, I relate that I’m staying in the abusive relationship right now for the kids. But as soon as I can get out safely and take my kids with me, I’m gone. I purposely avoided further entanglements with Adobe by using Affinity Designer and DaVinci Resolve. We ought to start a coop of photographers and pool our resources for a software company to develop something that takes out Lightroom. I’d gladly pay another $10 a month for it until the software is ready. And the fees would end when the software is done. I really need to look into CaptureOne.

    I don’t think what you’re describing sounds a whole lot different from the scenario Rossmann described. No, what is being done does not create the acute level of trauma, but it _is_ the very same style of thinking employed by those who do. I think we live in such a horrible corporate dystopia today that we may not realize just how much we’ve lost, and how much we’ve been conditioned to accept it. Over time, as even more creatives lose their livelihoods and suffer poverty and the associated traumas that comes with it, what these corporations have been doing are most definitely violent acts…they are just committed so subtly that we don’t realize their hand in things until years later when we finally realize what happened. I don’t think Rossmann is wrong for drawing the parallel. What corporate power is doing to humanity is sociopathic.

    My primary photography work is weddings and although I am granted permission to publish my clients images for Social Media, I too have strict rules as to what I will post. Sure Adobe are not going to use these images not uploaded to my adobe cloud account for Ai learning. But will for those stored in the cloud and any image I use Adobe’s Ai tools on. Of course the new T&Cs state they will not. I have no hesitation in believing they will. I firmly believe the Adobe’s intention is to fully integrate Ai into their apps and with a click of a button the image will be manipulated to how you want it or what it suggests should be done. Whether that’s generative fill, spot removal, dodge & burn or any other adjustment like DOF and focal point. That would mean every single image passed through Adobe’s software would be uploaded to their database either in the future or even now potentially. This is a company that couldn’t even keep our credit card details safe, I very much doubt they will keep imagery safe. I get the company wants to lock down their Ai from violent or sexual exploitation but passing the images to a human is opening the gates to similar possibilities, like when film developers would steal, duplicate and share customers film before digital photography put an end to it. I don’t trust Adobe one bit in carrying out their duty to protect my client’s identity, which is why my 20 year loyalty to the company ended this month.
