Oh, no!  Adobe has only 29 million, 999 thousand, 999 subscribers left. 😯

 

This is not Adobe.  It's a user-to-user community.

 

Rates are subject to increase for a variety of reasons, from fluctuations in currency to regional tax changes.

In the U.S., basic Lightroom costs about $12/month.  

A Photography Plan costs about $20/month (includes PS, LR, LR Classic & 1TB of storage).

Show some respect to people rightfully concerned about endless price hikes for "digital products".
