$20/mo. was not a good value.

I probably would only have used Photoshop and in two months of my subscription money I could have instead bought/owned Affinity Photo.

I might use Photoshop for a week and then not use it again for 6 months. Did I just pay $120 for that one week?

Renting software will always suck.

maybe you're not the target audience then.

photographers make that subscription fee in 10 minutes?

Agree, but I'm surprised Adobe rushed headlong into cutting off their "long tail" without an alternate solution.

It made Affinity happy, I imagine.
