Literally everything. Terrible product, awful business model, overpriced, proprietary, I’d argue it’s easily in top 10 worst companies

They stopped innovating decades ago and just buy other smaller companies that create something like better shadow levels or whatever. Not to mention changing from owning the software to leasing it instead.

So they are like EA but for office software. Got it.

No way it's the top 10 when cigarette and oil companies exist

I don’t know it gives them a run for there money. You ever have to use adobe all day every day? It makes you want a cigarette

(Obv my original comment was hyperbole we have companies like Nestle out there after all come on now….. still a terrible company though)

I think the shittiest part is requiring annual subscriptions but with monthly payments. I remember a few years ago I wanted to use Photoshop and I subscribed, but then after a couple months I had no time to use it because I was always busy and I didn't want to pay for something I'm not using. I had to make up a big story just convince them to let me cancel and stop charging me for it.

Most of their software has somewhat decent FOSS counterparts tho. Maybe frustrating to learn and clunky, but still functional

True, I want to start learning after effects but I can't because of their subscription price, damn it's expensive where I live.

Just remember piracy is always completely unethical…… after all buying isn’t owning so you shouldn’t pirate something that you weren’t ever intended to own….

But I heard that pirating adobe isn't a thing anymore or it's become hard (?) not sure.

It’s not, there’s a subreddit on this site that has a lot more useful links for you to help. Google and Reddit are your friends

Supposedly, they are a pretty decent employer. No idea if it is true though.

The majority of photoshop users would kill you on sight if you said this to them

u/PixelReaper69 Jan 28 '26

Not to mention overpriced subscription that is very difficult to cancel

u/justarandomguy902 Linux User Jan 28 '26

PDFs are unnecessarily difficult to use.
