Why so many people are mad at Adobe!
In case you don't follow this stuff, many people in the creator community are apparently very upset at #Adobe, who has moved full steam into subscription cloud-based services with everything that implies.
It seems they recently asked users to accept some relatively minor changes in their terms of service, relating to content moderation, what content Adobe can view and use, legal requirements, etc.
I said these were minor changes and from what I've seen they seem to be that. But the problem is that this has attracted creators' attention to terms of service that most didn't read or understand fully before this, which is quite a nasty piece of work. Very typical of many cloud services today though. So the creator community is up in arms, with new YouTube videos on the topic seemingly popping up by the hour. An "explainer" that Adobe sent out to try calm things down appears to have just made things worse.
Talk about unforced errors. It's not just #Google.
