And Just Like That, Adobe Starts a Slow & Painful Death...

Yes, Flash Player has reached EOL and Adobe reps & fanboys alike are pulling the "well you knew the end was coming" card to show their arrogance and supremacy in the world of tech.

Let's face it, Flash Player does not fit Adobe's business model as a now Software as a Service Provider.  Flash Player has been around for decades and up until recent years, their software for creators was a one time purchase.  Adobe wasn't making the profits they wanted on it so, why not cut it.  F*ck the the little consumer is what it has come to and it is a damn shame.  Yes, tech is always evolving and always will, but at what cost?  I am an Adobe subscriber and the only reason I knew about the Flash Player EOL was due to Google adding a pesky notification to their Chrome browser in 2020.    

The biggest reason I felt the need to comment on this is the amount of security systems and other embedded network devices that rely on Flash Player for its GUI.  These devices are often not connected to the web and/or are not used every day therefore not needing continuous access.  The little man and small organizations/business will be the major losers in this.  January 12, 2020 is a date that will live in tech infamy, marking a time that many devices will forcefully need upgraded by the consumer.  This is also a time that will be the start of the decline of Adobe as their customer base will ultimately look elsewhere for services.
