Break up Adobe. They have had a monopoly on creative tools for more than 10 years now.
I bought the Affinity suite a few years back. Dropped Adobe when they started going all Creative Cloud monthly subscription, and haven’t looked back. Definitely recommend. Don’t let Adobe have a monopoly when other great choices exist.
Would this help? Photoshop existing as its own company doesn't really stop the adobe/premiere/aftereffects dominance much
YES. Actually it would since that's how it started.
Now that you mention it, I CAN go one better:
as a penalty for a decade of anti-competitive behavior, force Adobe to open source all of it's creative suite, shut the whole company down, and imprison the executives who illegally bought all of their competition.
why are we shouting
Because yelling is fun
