Remove the Stock advert banner under the Apps tab

+1. This is just embarassing, Adobe. The urge to place an ad there is embarassing. Also the fact that I've actually tried to use the search box to search for an app in the list. At least twice. Terrible ux design in many ways. Fix that!

I'm pretty new to Adobe; it's enough to be constantly frustrated with the program stability -- regular crashing and freezing on Illustrator -- but to then be burdened with advertisements for a product I have no interest in (which crashes Illustrator, an already fairly clunky program) at seemingly random intervals spikes my blood pressure.

TOTALLY AGREE

This is total arrogance and counter productive marketing.

I am a photographer. I have earned my living as a photographer for over 40 years.

I am never going to buy other people's photographs.

I have paid a great deal of money to Adobe since 1996.

STOP SHOVING SHIT AT ME !!!!!!!!!!

I also want that Stock Photos advertisement removed from the top of the Apps tab. Stock has its own tab in the CC Desktop app and it should only live there. Adobe is becoming more and more like a desperate car salesman making pitches on late night TV. Unprofessional, unsightly clutter in what is simply supposed to be an application manager. Now AVID is doing the same thing with an application manager in the top menu bar – but they are not as "in your face" with trying to pitch more services to the user.

Apparently there is an unfilled market segment: Ad Blocker For Desktop Software. Ad Block Plus and uBlock browser ad blockers and similar might want to branch out.

I totally agree with the other posters. Aggressively advertising your stock website to paying customers is irritating at best. Please allow a setting to hide stock ads as well as launch to the "apps" tab by default.

I would like to add my assent to what the above posters have been saying. As a student with limited funds, subscribing to CC was a difficult and costly decision. I'm disappointed to find Adobe pushing advertising in my face every time I want to use the Creative Cloud menu bar tab.

I agree that it needs to opened on the "Apps Tab" since this is the "Adobe Apps Manager" not "Adobe Stock Manager", I open it to check for updates and sometimes open apps I don't use everyday "on the APPS tab"! If someone else uses it for Assets/Files it should open there! We should be able to choose what tab is our default! Not some Marketing Push! Yes, remove the banner, we get emailed enough about it as well, without it opening in our face every time we open the app.

Yeah I just got it, and have only looked at it less than one minute, and I'm already looking for how to remove the Stock Ads and considering cancelling it.

I just gave you money, you should stop badgering with sales pitches.

It's hopeless, though, this is Adobe, it's like appealing to Scratch in the Devil and Daniel Webster for mercy.

As a paying customer I too would like Adobe Stock adverts removed from my CC package.
