Not really. Like, sure, they f'ed up their useres and probably lost large parts of their userbase, but their stock went up >10% in the last month and that's literally and legally all that matters for a publicly traded company.
Hot tip: you can switch your subscription to a different subscription package, then use the 2 week grace period to cancel for free. Adobe spent all their money on sinister design that they had none leftover to test for loopholes :)
I messaged adobe support after missing the cancellation deadline after the subscription for the next year started. They tried offering half a year for free but after persistent they gave me my money back.
I am on the 1-year plan with monthly pay and I don't want to pay one month. I leave zero on that card, they auto cancel for not paying and if i want it again i just renew the sub. Don't know if it works in the US, the EU does have way more consume protection
Wow, I shit you not! I wrote in Adobe community questions answer how to show the hidden cancel button by inspecting the page and adjusting the CSS. They deleted that answer
and that money that they definitely get by legal means is definitely going towards the developers and definitely not going directly to the higher ups in the company.
managed to get out of mine scott free by just clicking the confirm button to end my subscription and bill me. there was a pop up like “wait don’t cancel do you wanna switch plans instead?” so i switched over to a free plan and immediately cancelled that without having to pay a dime of the original 😂
nowadays this is actually a useful tactic. I often use it myself. I frequently go through all my subscription services and pretend to cancel them up to the last confirmation button. I often get some sweet deals like 3 months free, half the price for a year, credits for spending and so on. Of course I never would have canceled them because I depend on many of them, but it saves real money pretending to do it.
I'm just looking for a job right now, and got several rejections in a row. Thank you so much for these shorts, they make it less painful by showing the absurdity of this whole bullshitting contest.
I been through this myself where company ask about behaviour questions , personality questions . I hate those. And some of them even interfere with my personal life. After that ghosting me after the interview. Without replying weather i got the job or offer etc.
Omfg this. I tried to cancel once, and the support guy didn't even know how to get there. Then they were like we can't cancel it for you. Then I just said you guys are billing assistance. How can you not be able to cancel someone's subscription, but you're able to change my plan to different priced packages.
Considering it's Adobe, that coding challenge would be taken and used on their site and then they'd try to sue the interviewee for copyright infringement somehow
And doesn't Adobe have some clause that they basically always have a sublicence that allows them to use any content that went through Adobe for any purpose?
Arguably not a license, it's the terms of the standard license agreement that you would accept retention and use of files in their cloud storage application, as well as any future cloud services, or AI, or AI alteration of your content, et al. Typically Cloud storage has similar terms to AI retention / storage/policy. So, the language has to be clear that the items aren't being accessed by anyone else, or used by 3rd parties or internal software, sic. It's likely overly broad for the purpose of using AI tools while on a cloud application or local application, i.e. to use mobile clients sic. But, the same terms allow them to access the data both locally and cloud-stored for use in their own services. Hard to say what the meaning was supposed to be, since the lawyers weren't clever enough.
I think it's important to make a distinction here. It's a joke skit I know but people should understand it's not the devs who are deciding to implement these exploitative measures. It's the management people who take these business decisions. Devs might voice concerns but in the end they have to implement it to keep their jobs.
I myself, shameful as it was, did not read the tiny letters when signing up to one of Adobe's subscriptions... It was indeed an annual subscription billed monthly, needless to say I was pretty pissed and just blocked them from making automatic withdrawals to my Paypal account, fuck you Adobe, take that.
Adobe: code this Me: ok Adobe: well we will call you Me: well, friendly reminder, now that you asked for some code we have entered a contract, if you choose early termination you should pay the whole year. Adobe: what? Me: well I saw that was your standard
just tell the chatbot u wanna cancel and would sue them and dedicate your life to writing bad reviews of them and report fraud of unable to cancel subscription. then cancel your credit card after years of writing as many bad reviews of them as possible
I don’t get what wrong adobe did, it’s was in the terms and condition, and in emails, and if you didn’t want to use it you could have use davinci or Vegas It’s free market, they can make rules on THEIR product
@@dinoaurus1 No, im company owner, and we decide what our software can do, if you want something else, go somewhere else We spent years writing this, for 13h a day, it was stupidly hard, and now, it’s mine, I sell a license to it, not rights to it. I’m 23, I was nearly homeless because I was spending all my time at this, and I want let anybody change it
Well, I’m doing app for pharma, and part of the strict reasoning is I don’t want for anybody to get hurt, and with changes to the software it’s no longer controlled, but still
@@lifeinanutshell7147 can you expand? What explains it? That business should have control of their own product? My company sells licenses and programs, programs come with code and aren’t always available, and license are just licenses to use MY product
