Misleading discount "Adobe Stock Discounts - 95% Off - Verified October 2022"

Hello, John and all other polite readers of Adobe forums,

Matic here (the "very rude" website owner). Although I tried to refrain from joining your rant, John, I decided I cared too much about what others thought.

First of all, thank you, @Test Screen Name, for pointing out that the very first sentence in my blog post mentions that there are no coupons. Let alone that the title of the page includes "The Truth". I tried to explain that to our dear John, but he couldn't be bothered to read this part since he was too involved in finding the best deal and then looking for a scapegoat when he couldn't find one.

You claim here that I was rude. I responded to all your emails cordially and tried explaining the logic to you, despite you calling me "deluded" and a liar, all the while threatening me and not responding to my emails after explaining it to you.

And yes, using titles like this is clickbait; everyone uses it. It's not a tactic I like to use, but you would never even find that blog post if I didn't. There are dozens of multimillion-dollar companies doing the same. Still, you prefer to go after a photographer who dedicates his free time to sharing maybe some useful info—so I don't understand what's your beef with me.

More to the point, I've never called this a coupon or a promo code. Instead, I emphasized it was a deal or a discount. I understand you find this misleading, but it's a fact. If you get an identical image with identical licensing for $0.26 instead of $9.99, I'd call that a 97.4% discount. Granted, you have to buy a large subscription instead of the smallest one, but it's a discount nonetheless, and someone who can afford a large subscription will find that information useful.

Finally, I always appreciate constructive criticism. I saw through your insults and added additional information to the article that will clarify matters: "Note: These discounts are available by default to everyone buying from Adobe Stock and are not unique to Photutorial."

Thank you to everyone participating in this discussion, and I hope you find any value in Photutorial.

Kind regards,
Matic

Your post is incorrect. The very first thing it says on that web page is "Warning: Adobe Stock does not offer coupons or promo codes. Anyone telling you otherwise is trying to scam you into clicking on their link, so they get a commission. " 

I have no idea why you posted this... but a moderator will probably remove it soon.  See this screen shot from the page you linked:

The page continues to tell you about Adobe's deals and what they cost.
