Another example of the frustrating ‘Adobe upsell’

Ah, another step to transition the revenue-stream of a product away from the product-price to also profit from the individual value it created.

Different industries are in different stages of this transition, it all depends on how easy it is to enumerate and control the value a product creates (as the customer is usually not keen to share this)

Not to be too cynical here, but in case of Adobe it seems the enumeration factor has been decided. Now the different paths to extract value are in progress to be shut.

Quite sad to see this "parasitic relationship" becoming the common profit-growth strategy for all the industries...

"Since the release of Photoshop 23.3, Adobe has required users to save their work as a cloud document before it can be directly shared with others."

"Adobe Creative Cloud applications do come with some cloud storage included within the subscription price: a standalone Photoshop subscription comes with 100GB as standard, for example. But upgrading that storage will cost you an additional $9.99 a month per terabyte."

Coming soon: "You want to save a local copy of the file? Upgrade your subscription and you can export 1000 documents each month."
