But...restricted reach is exactly how Bluesky works. People you follow show up in your feed, and only them. You can look at other feeds that are not as restricted, but you are making that choice.

Bluesky has the "Discover" feed that is definitely not only people you follow (sometimes, when it feels like it, they'll be on top of it).

Correct. But you choose to look at that feed. It's not the only one available to you. I have like 6 different feeds at any one time.

That's why you always use throwaway cards for this.

Or better, just avoid companies like Adobe as much as possible. It is not like they are the only game in town anymore, right?

Not the only... But for many hobbyists the effort to relearn is too much to save a bit of money.

Adobe runs what must be one of the largest deceptive rebills. The vast majority of users signing up for a monthly plan do not realize that it is actually an "annual plan, billed monthly" and thus that if they cancel after one month (for example) they'll be billed for the remaining 11 immediately. I honestly don't know how they haven't faced FTC action for this, as it's been their primary model for 5-10 years now.

this literally happened to me

I'm pretty sure it's because just about every applicable art school has enforced their student's output to be done in adobe's products - meaning that Adobe has a firm grip on the educator's market. As the saying goes, hook them in when they're young and they'll be too lazy and vested to move away from their products for a lifetime.

> every applicable art school has enforced their student's output to be done in adobe's products do instructors really require people submit PSDs or do students export their stuff to jpg/png/whatever and submit the export

It's been some time since I checked in on student related stuff, but..

IIRC PSDs contain some process related information that instructors check on; like for example photoshop layering contributes to file sizes and they don't want their students abusing it to the point of large file sizes; it'd look bad for their school's reputation.
