Adobe contracts are predatory

Yes is in the contract.  But also yes, no other subscriptions are like this.   Its is not reasonable to expect that you have a cancellation fee to cancel when you pay annually.  You pay for the year in order to get a DISCOUNT.  YOu have already given them more money that you would have had you decided to pay monthly.  ANd now to get out of that you need to pay a cancellation fee?

  This is the most insane thing I have ever seen. 

And yes, I know its in the contract, but I have purchased untold number of annual subscriptions at a discount over monthly and never had a cancellation fee.  What does adobe think it is, as important as a cellphone lmao. 

If you own stock in adobe, sell it.  THey wil fold.   YOu an survive these days with strategies like this.  They know their days are numbered and are extracting as much as possible along the way.
