watching the opening video.
Am I “sticking my finger in the stream and changing it”? God I hope I am. It sounds transgressive.
that opening video went on for a long time. god forgive me I started to irrationally dislike nearly every talking head in it.
oh, now Shantanyu’s on stage. yaaaayyy.
“advertising is content and content is advertising” so that’s Shantanyu’s first key point.
that really warmed the cockles of my heart. I’m turning it off now.
no wait. – he apparently wants people to see the creative cloud and the marketing cloud as melded into one.
fabulous.
Shantanhya read a ten minute speech in six minutes there. That’s the last time he’ll be willing to do that for a while.
Adobe is a stunningly genuine company, lead by genuine people talking genuinely about all the things that lead them to mass forced subscription.

I wonder at points who they are even talking to anymore –
on muse, the one piece of software everyone alive has decided not to use, they demonstrated a facility for clients to alter and modify websites without calling on the website designer – then the two guys said this insane thing that they had heard from web designers that this was a major request – where they never see a penny again for website modifications by having handed off to their client a client controlled modifiable lego construction of the website.
you would feel muse has a bright, turkeys for christmas future.
and they kept saying that designers – on their super interesting poll census – told them they really needed to be more and more productive, and that designers felt they needed to be across all areas, end to end, as strategists through to client sell – presumably marketing strategists. because that’s a delicious concept.
the narrative of adobe as a company is fairly bizarre. On some level the hapless subscription designer is starting to feel a wee bit soylent green. Adobe seem to see, and architect, their software processes to transform their former customers into low grade mulch to marketing driven workflows.
just a lovely company.
(and if the PS+LR+the kitchen sink $9.99 per month mega deal guaranteed forever isn’t a visible hail mary that indicates super bad CC take up in photography, then I’m a banana.)

Really? I would think you’d be hanging on every word, considering how much you wanted him to come out and give you platitudes when some of the online services went down.

I spent an entire afternoon with Muse before I realized it didn’t do anything that anybody could possibly want. As for Adobe, who really knows? If they think they are going to make a fortune off teaching new businesses how to market, then golly gosh! Best of luck.

[TImothy Auld] ” Really? That’s all you’ve got?”
Well, that depends. Did it really take you four hours on the phone with Adobe support to figure out how to resize a video in the timeline?

Well, yes, the photographic package is pretty much feature-complete for what the vast majority of people using it are going to actually do with it, so you need to make the subscription cheap enough to be a no-brainer.

No. It took me hours to try to figure out why none of my Adobe CC applications would load – just as they had done the previous day.

Got an answer to that, tough guy?
