I’ve used Adobe products for as long as I can remember. I purchased them for horribly high prices when they sold the apps, and I moved to subscribing when they migrated to that business model. Not that long ago, I cut the number of products I was subscribing to which cut the monthly price in half. Since it’s Christmas, they want more of my money… doesn’t everyone?
Is it ethical to nag me to upgrade from a product I pay to use?
I don’t want to upgrade! I don’t want the additional apps or the cost — that’s why I just downgraded. See that box at the bottom that says, “Don’t show again for 30 days?” I’ve checked that sucker at least 100 times, but when I open the app, pushy Adobe keeps showing me that same pop-up nag. Every. Single. Time. 🤬
If not for the learning curve, I’d cancel and use a different app, even though I like what I already have.
Because I think it’s really shitty that they’re using a product I already pay for to push another sale down my throat, I’d dump them right this second if there was another comparable app that didn’t take forever to learn. But right now, I just don’t have it in me.
I guess I’m like Dharma — and we all know it’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks.
Now you know: American founding father, Aaron Burr, was an early supporter of giving women education and the right to vote. He was also a notorious womanizer who frequented sex workers and fathered multiple children with many different mothers, including an Indian servant who worked in his house.
