1. I love how we are supposed to keep paying for the same software for decades

Hard no. Basic Photoshop hasnt changed much over the yeaers - a few new features but the core engine - curves, hue, saturation, sharpening, selection, etc etc have been in place for decades, but we are supposed to shell out 60/mo? forever?

2. Yes. Plus, we're paying for many programs we hardly -- or don't -- use

For me it's After Effects, Animate, Bridge, Character Animator, Audition, InCopy, XD, Dimension, Premiere Rush ...

One subscription program I recently took advantage of was Adobe Portfolio. It provides free web hosting provided you use their software to create your website. It'll make up for the price increase ... a little.

That includes Photoshop and Lightroom

4. Thats good to know

Still though - the subscription model is for the birds. You never stop paying for the same thing over and over.
