Age restriction by Adobe survey

I was born in 1930, but the survey age limit is 1935 - discrimination. At 92 I am still using Photoshop and Lightroom - so there. Geoff Parker

It’s a long survey by Adobe covering one’s usage,interests, hobbies etc. of
Adobe products.
I’m surprised you hav’nt recieived one. Kind regards,Geoff

Regarding bugs in Photoshop, I of course have my share also including
quick mask and airbrushing.Because I’m so ancient I started with Photoshop
2. Those were the insert a disk and never have glitch

I'm not familiar with the survey you mention.  Are you sure it was sent to you by Adobe and not a 3rd party research company?

With life expectancy on the rise, I expect more of these issues to crop up.  Centenarian seniors here could not get online appointments for COVID vaccine because the forms did not accept triple digits in AGE fields.  Very annoying.

It worked for my father-in-law by putting his age as 99 instead of 100.

Different states & counties had different problems. The online system where I live was cobbled together on short notice and didn't work as well as it could have for everyone. 

At one time I was a paid consumer survey-taker for everything from movies & tire treads to paper towels & fruit jams.  I was paid for attending live focus groups and completing lengthy questionnaires.  I've also participated in several Neilsen & Gallop Polls.  They tend to be selective.  They filter respondents by age, region, gender, etc...  To save time, modern surveys typically start only when respondents meet the target demographic.

Very interesting indeed.My complaint about the survey was intended to be
fairly lighthearted and have a sideways dig at Adobe

That's how I took it, Geoff. 😊

But I have to add that I know of three other nonagenarians who were also avid Photoshop users: my father, my aunt, and ACP and dear friend Norman Sanders.

As my great-grandfather was known to say, "It's the principle of the thing!" As @geoffp79416253 says, this is discrimination!

Surveys can do whatever they want.  It may seem unfair, but It's not illegal.

Respect, that's all I must say.
