Adobe is ridiculous

Just seen some thoughts I have on the absolute ridiculousness that is Adobe’s entire existence. I know Adobe , like every other company set on the ai koolaid, are trying to force people to use their money sink ai. But getting rid of animate is beyond stupid. 

I’m not surprised, im just disgusted. They wormed their way into a lot of creative industries , made a lot of professionals see them as the standard, many animation studios have Adobe products in their workflow and it takes time and effort to relearn a program that doesn’t do all the things Adobe does, even if Adobe’s programs are poorly made and crash every other click. Studios and independent animators will morn, rage, whatever they need to do. But they will also be looking for alternatives after Adobe kills yet another version of flash. 

Funny thing is , a lot of folks only got the Adobe subscription ONLY FOR ANIMATE. Getting rid of that means folks will see no reason to even continue an Adobe subscription. 

I hate Adobe so much. An every company like it.

Y'all, where are we 🏴‍☠️ programs from these days? Your girl needs access to adobes stuff without spending a monthly sub. I have a good movie website but no idea where to get software without potential viruses.

DM me some good recs?

Adobe is conducting a survey about GenAI with multiple open boxes to write how it impacts us negatively and many choice questions allowing for fully negative responses. Go fill it. It's only their marketing tool to know where to aim PR but it's also a way to voice our views and let them know how big of a mistake they're making.

Hello artists, I've recently deleted Photoshop because Adobe is a horrible company to artists and supports ai. Can someone recommend to me a digital drawing program that does not support or use ai? I think procreate is actually openly against ai and clip studio paint was going to start adding ai to their software but backlash from artists made them back out, but I could be wrong.

Thank you for any and all suggestions ❤️

I'm thinking of getting back into digital art and need recommendations for literally any drawing program that isn't adobe and won't cost me my month's rent to use!
