Should Adobe test Premiere on a community of beta testers before releasing it to the rest of us paying a subscription?

I think some serious beta testing needs to be done. Ever since that update a couple months back I just plain can't get Premier to function like it did. It pretty much killed my ability to make content. It doesn't play MP4's in the timeline anymore. Or if it does it stops playing at random. I can't edit anything without it crashing. It worked fine and I've been scouring online for the past couple months trying to find a way to get it to work. I even tried reverting it to older versions but that didn't work.

Adobe does have a beta program.

Perhaps the better idea is an open beta, like Blackmagic Design with DaVinci Resolve and Fusion.  Anyone can download the beta versions and provide feedback, free of charge.  And BMD does take that feedback into account, often fixing bugs in the very next beta release.

The first one;

really is such a pain in the —. It's the latest version of Premiere. I've tried creating a new project and importing the problematic project into it. What do I have to do to get a working version of this editing software?
