First Adobe changed their Terms to give themselves a permanent license to any content you produce using their software.
Then they pretended it was a misunderstanding.
Then Adobe gaslit people who pointed out that they are full of BS.
Then they put out damage limitation statements that mean nothing.
I have cancelled Adobe and so should you if you are a creator who has a backbone.
Here is what I have done:
1. Premiere Pro -> Davinci Resolve
This is an upgrade. The software is less clunky and actually works better.
Integration with hardware is better.
No licences. No monthly payments.
I bought the Speed Editor Keyboard that comes with a Resolve license - absolute bargain of a deal.
2. Photoshop -> Affinity Photo
This is also an upgrade. After an hour of getting used to it, Affinity software actually works better.
Image editing and my YouTube workflow are better.
3. Illustrator -> Affinity Designer
Same as above - actually very good software.

In the last few years Adobe’s competitors have caught up with and overtaken Adobe.
I was blind to how good the alternatives have become, using Adobe stuff because I was a creature of habit.
Would very strongly recommend trying the alternatives out.
You might surprise yourself… And save a boatload of cash.
