jesus fuck, 300%? and they’re leaning hard into generative AI horseshit? and I remember a bunch of graphic designers I know very loudly leaving Adobe Cloud for Canva specifically because of adobe’s greed and focus on shoving AI into their product. some of them fucking tagged Canva in the post!

Canva users online have condemned the increases, with some announcing they’ll be canceling their subscriptions and moving to Adobe applications.

some have announced they’re unsubscribing from the frying pan and resubscribing to the fire. not that I can blame them — Canva’s product is utterly indistinguishable from Adobe’s shit now, but it’s still easier to hire designers that know Adobe because it’s unfortunately an industry standard. there’s no reason to stay aboard Canva’s sinking ship.

ah well, at least we’ve got alternatives like the Affinity suite—

These huge price increases also follow Canva purchasing the company behind Affinity’s creative software suite for a reported “several hundred million [British] pounds,” and ahead of a potential public listing in the US in 2026.

well fuck. being a designer fucking sucks.

The enshittification of entire sectors marches on... Some day, humans will learn capitalists are ONLY greedy pigs, and not actually good for anything except hoarding wealth.
