Title: Paying hundreds a Month for Adobe Garbage? No Thanks

The title says it all.

 

Mediocre AI, clunky software, and corporate greed disguised as “innovation.” Meanwhile, I could get the same or better elsewhere for two hundred bucks at most.

 

The recent credit hike for AI tools just proves it: Adobe isn’t interested in serving users, they are only interested in squeezing every cent. Their AI tools are trash, their own development is lagging, and they monetize third party tools aggressively because they can’t actually produce quality themselves.

 

I’ve been a year long subscriber, but that ends now. If Adobe doesn’t revert this insane pricing, I’m moving my workflows elsewhere. There’s no monopoly anymore - anything they do can be done elsewhere, often cheaper and better.

 

Goodbye, Adobe. You’ve officially pushed a loyal customer too far.

Hi Bonut30691137lyhp!

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re genuinely sorry to hear how frustrated and disappointed you feel. This isn’t the experience we want any long-time subscriber to have. We understand your concerns around AI quality, pricing, and recent credit changes. Your feedback about pricing, performance, and trust will be shared directly with the relevant product teams. 

While we regret that you’re considering leaving, we respect your decision and appreciate the time you spent with Adobe. If you decide to return in the future, we hope the improvements we’re actively working on will better meet your expectations.

Thank you again for your honesty and for being part of the Adobe community.

This is peak corporate gaslighting, textbook level. The “we’re sorry you feel frustrated” nonsense is performative theater while you’re busy sucking your customers wallets dry. Hiking credits from 10 to 40 wasn’t about product value, necessity, or improvement... it was pure, naked greed. Not one word in that canned reply even admits it. Every sentence is a smug mask to make you feel like they care while they laugh at anyone dumb enough to keep paying. “We understand your concerns”? You don’t. You’re just parroting a script while robbing longtime users blind. “We respect your decision”? You only respect the cash you can squeeze out of people, and the rest can choke. Support like this is a joke: a mountain of words with zero accountability, zero honesty, and zero shame, all designed to gaslight loyal users while the corporate machine grins behind the curtain.
