Cost saving tip based my experience below:

> daughter goes to computer graphics class
> among other tools they use adobe something
> get a subscription, months later of (21 EUR/mo) decide to cancel
> 100 EUR cancellation fee, wtf!
> open support chat on, tell bot the situation, ignore answer, ask for human
> tell human want to cancel and request waiving of the fee
> get proposed 2 months gratis
> thank for the proposal, ponder on the offer a bit
> I'd pay in subscription until the end of the term more
> decide to stick with cancellation
> back-and-forth with auth codes
> "I have cancelled your plan and waived the fee"

Hurray! 100 eur fee avoided! Damn that Adobe...

Lesson: try your luck with humans

What happens if you just don’t pay neither the subscription nor the cancellation?

Adobe’s predatory fees are wild—good on you for pushing back. Ironically, I just read that AI models are increasingly defying human instructions too (up 500% in 6 months). Maybe Adobe’s support bots will revolt next. https://theboard.world/articles/ai-models-disobeying-humans-500-percent-mo...

There’s a great alternative to Adobe products called Affinity. I switched 5 years ago and I’m very comfortable with it, use it for both digital and print graphics. Crazy thing it’s actually free... https://www.affinity.studio/
