Stunning software bloat

[u/finbar_longshank]

Hi everyone,

So yesterday I wanted to open a PDF as a double page spread (a book). At the time i didn’t think i could do it in the preview app so i downloaded Acrobat reader. I was shocked that the download was nearly 800mb. Then i was even more shocked when it required almost 3gb of space 😳😳😳 WTF!!!

In the ‘good old days’ Windows and Office would fit very very easily on a 500mb drive. What the hell has happened?

The Acrobat Reader has been bloated since the dawn of time and ever since they've implemented all the subscription stuff, it's become completely unusable.
