I just love this guy when he’s riled up. Makes me feel all warm and cozy 🤣

    Just cancelled my Adobe sub. Even if I was comfortable with how they use my data (and I am most assuredly fucking not) I’m also uncomfortable with them helping themselves to the NDA’d projects I do for clients. I trialed Affinity Photo and it meets 98% of my needs and is on sale 50% off right now. Bite my ass, Adobe.

        For the kind of work I have been doing I have not needed to hand over any psd files. Photoshop is(was) only a small step in my workflow and the main thing I get hired for is 3D modelling services. Regardless, I still work with NDA’d content and Adobe’s terms are invasive as hell.

    This guy is a fucking hero for calling out these companies’ bullshit practices like that. I don’t really care if there’s some misstep about the open source thing. The content that I’ve seen from him is still good in my opinion.

    Fuck Adobe.

    Started watching him repair boards back in the day, enjoyed him going after companies to start with, and it’s just become exhausting now

      I get where you’re coming from, however I reckon he’s doing a huge public service in this regard, imagine someone just happens to click on one of his vids and learns how scummy corpos are. That’s why I believe he should continue with these callouts, but yeah I’d like to see more actual repair stuff in future.

    Adobe responds

    Louis reacts

    I ignore his video and make a shitty joke about wishing he would use his right to repair to fix his channel.

      He’s doing gods work. I love his wit and I can’t believe he’s single handedly fighting for right to repair.

    I fucking love Louis, knows his shit, isn’t afraid to call shitfuckery out for what it is.

    I genuinely can’t recall a video of his I’ve watched that hasn’t been informative, entertaining or both.

    My opinion if him continues to climb, however, as instructed, if he ever uses adobe premiere for a video and I find out about it, it’s an unsub from me.
