Finally, a company that adds AI to their product and then IPOs - I can't wait to see what groundbreaking stickers the AI will come up with, so I can really level up my birthday cards.
Well of course, what else are they supposed to do? Put AI tools in an optional higher tier and have absolutely nobody that consciously upgrades to that tier?

#22Capture customers and unreasonably hike the prices is a business plan as popular as subscription services. I hope consumers and businesses will notice how unreliable this is and start choosing more user friendly products more often.
This is just capitalism though. Like, what else are you suggesting? Opt for companies whose products are more expensive in the hope that they are less likely to hike prices later on? The real issue is when these companies become monopolies and then can raise prices without paying a competitive cost for doing so. But that's not Canva.
The initial investment to start a company, especially a tech company, isn't all that big anymore.

#23Tech execs: The government is the only source of inflation! Also Tech Execs: Raise prices!
I haven't noticed tech execs say that (the first bit). Is that an Elon Musk thing? (Genuine question)
They’re also starting to question universal suffrage in public now. Good times.

#27Why write "pc" and not "%"? Is this a common style?

Complaining that loose monetary policy is responsible for inflation is a pretty common theme from Musk/Trump fanboy type CEOs. They’re also starting to question universal suffrage in public now. Good times.
Increasing production takes time. There's not a magical machine that can double it's production overnight: New machines & factories & supply chains need to be built out, and those can take months at best.

#30Canva bought Serif for their quite nice Affinity suite some time back. I wonder how this will work out long term.
