    I’ve been pirating Photoshop since I was about 12. I ended up moving to Krita when Photoshop decided to stop detecting my pen after I eventually updated to Win11, and I’m glad I did.

    My husband even offered to get me an Abobe subscription so I can keep using something I’m familiar with without jumping through hoops to pirate it, but I absolutely refuse to pay a subscription for a programme I should be able to buy outright, and I’d rather just change to something else altogether.

    I don’t know why every fucking thing has to be a subscription with a shitass company attached to it that keeps fucking over customers.

      That’s the worst part. You’re getting the money! Don’t you want money? Isn’t that the point?!

      God damn, at least be rationally evil.

      Subscriptions make constant, monthly passive income. It looks better to investors when you have constant income versus surges whenever you release a product.
