Adobe ignores your choices at install and does wtf it wants to

I am done with adobe products. I specifically told it not to install creative cloud when it installed, yet adobe did it anyways. Disabled it at boot and run illustrator once and Adobe resets those settings to make it boot everytime. It then runs 5-7 other applications eating up 18GB of my 64GB of memory.

I am writing this post to say I am done with adobe products and their BS around how they install stuff you don't agree too, then reset your settings on the OS level to make thier stupid apps boot up after you have explicitly disabled them.

Its my computer, if I don't want your extra software then I don't want it, if I don't want adobe crap to boot up when my machine boots up THEN I WANT IT THAT WAY! I will no longer use adobe products because of this. It is just as bad as Piracy! I program and this takes away from vital resources I need to dev and here is adobe going we are going to ignore what you want and do what we want.

Time to move back to opensource options, they are catching up with adobe and soon adobe will become irrelevant anyways.

That's a non-sequitur. Creative Cloud desktop is necessary to manage apps, log-in to online services and verify your subscription status. To say "I want Creative Cloud without Creative Cloud app" makes no sense. Just saying...

Then after uninstall and reboot these remain unremoved and running after every reboot. This is beyond stupid.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post if it helps you get responses.
