Adobe is an Ai company now. After their most recent conference, Adobe MAX, there was an uncomfortable amount of Ai centred talks and product features.
On top of their other issues such as confusing subscriptions, cancellation fees, killing Adobe XD, and training their Ai software on artists work without their permission.
With the creative software world getting more and more competitive, you would think Adobe would improve on the products they already have to stay ahead of the competition. But instead every new update seems to shoehorn a new Ai feature in that no one asked for.

When You Lose the Hosts that the Fans Love
Castore has a vintage crisp brand but it is very sad how the brand has turned a promising start into mush, I hope they could rectify their problems.
Castore is worse than aids
The logo still sucks
The fans would have loved the Lighthouse
My club switched from adidas to castore
"The Americans are our friends, let's leave Europe and get closer to them" - nope
I think this is fair. Bought quite a bit of their stuff some time back - logo fell off after one wash and Holes all over the clothing. Abysmal customer service.
Pound shop Admiral
British people love talking about the worst this, the worst that, they're such a negative, miserable people, the British
Nothing is more powerful at destroying designs than a boardroom full of suits <3
Just get a 360 🤣
Macron shirts are quality
they also sadly sponsor the WRC
It was the best 12 months for villas womens football tho with alisha lehmanns wet nipples 😅
I’ve bought several pieces of training and running gear over the years and found the quality and comfort top notch. I haven’t purchased any team wear though and from what I’ve seen and read that is obviously a problem area.
As someone who own an Xbox one I have to admit this….
Castore is so pathetic that their Red Bull's F1 kit are clearly trying to hide the original supplier Sparco
The US national rugby union team started a 6 year deal with Castore back in 2022. In Oct 2024, Macron became the new kit manufacturer. I don’t know what the reasons were for the deal to end, but seeing the video gives an idea of why it did.
Americans ruin everything
Used it one of my projects and I must say the uncanny nature of the results it produces discouraged me from wanting to try it again. I can't believe they have the gull to INCREASE the entry price for their subscriptions now.
Talk about the motogp new logo pls it's so bad
It's funny too how in the Americas we have the same issue but with Fanatics, first having issues with the new MLB jerseys falling apart or being see through and now sponsoring the NHL, who already had shitty fanatics jerseys BEFORE the sponsorship and now make all the authentic and domestic or MIC jerseys that the players wear, and despite them being the same template as the 2023-24 Adidas Adizeros, they're somehow significantly worse and I've heard of logos coming unstiched just HOURS after people buy them
Don't know much about all about English football, but as a Formula One fan, they make all the team clothes for McLaren and Red Bull, and while I haven't had any quality issues, HOLY SHIT ARE THEY EXPENSIVE, WHY IS A POLO SHIRT $120?!?!
Aussie rules team in Australia was with castore the kits didn’t arrive for round 1 of the season which was crazy
2:45 Well that aged well…
remember, it probably is ethical to despise Adobe...
Cadbury should be ashamed of themselves....it's embarrassing to even call their product chocolate. In the past few years they have gone from bad to disgustingly bad. I've stopped buying British chocs and now but mainly Swiss, someti m as Thorntons. Who on 🌎 nuts this rubbish ?
Germany’s Adidas make the best kits
Procreate is so much more fun to use than Photoshop and does basically everything Photoshop can do. Its also basically free compared to Photoshop.
And we cannot buy any Fingers in France anymore. Even TV news dealed with it
Here in Mexico, if you go to a market you can find some bootleg cheap jerseys with a particular logo replacing the original one, when I saw castore logo for the first time, I thought both of them were pretty similar, now I can see that even those cheap, basic and simple market kits have a better quality than castore's
In the pursuit of infinite increasing profits, MBAs have destroyed almost everything they touch. Cadbury's, Boeing, Intel and many more.
Why do these teams and organisations keep signing with Castore, despite all of the reasons not to?
Rangers wear castore. It's only shite clubs that wear castore. 🍀🏴🇮🇪🍀
I thought it was pronounced "castory" but i've never heard it said before in real life to know if it is or not now.
Cadbury's used to be some of the best imported UK chocolates one could easily get in the USA. Apparently no longer.
Flat logos aren't always terrible but they're never great. They lack character and personality. They represent a soulless, mechanistic world.
"fair" trade ha ha ha. That means that the labourers get 4.75 pence and hour instead of 4.5 pence and hour
How depressing.
Real question though - what are the free open source easy to use competitors to Premiere? The closest I've seen is DaVinci Resolve but that's not open source. Are you talking about stuff like KdenLive and Shotcut?
anti-trust needs to become a thing again
Adobe is utter garbage
adobe deal to buy figma for 20B have collapsed due to regulatory pressure
I’m stuck on Lightroom and adobe express. I refuse to update my Adobe express app. 😅
Gen AI is not a tool for replacement of human creativity... but maybe it is tool for replacement of professional designer's creativty.
This year from Castore "We are thrilled to announce that today, we have completed a deal with Umbro licensee, GL Dameck to sign an exclusive Umbro Professional Team Sports sub-license. This sub-licence allows us to market the Umbro brand in the UK, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands, and Denmark." - so in short, teams that are Umbro are actually now Castore, they deal with Castore. Castore has the kits manufactured. Essentially they realised their mistakes have no one signing deals. Similar to Castore Umbro now branches out, F1 too - Williams were Umbro. England rugby is Umbro, which a lot of rugby fans didn't like. So remarkably a brand that's considered worse than Macron, manages to continue growth.
Hummel make brilliant kits
They make the red bull f1 shirts and seem OK but only wear them at home
"cuts size and keeps price the same" like that isn't what every company does all the time? Usually you notice stuff slightly shrinking, then at some point they reduce the actual package size slightly too.
Apparently the “Reverse Retro” program for the Isles was so popular that across the sound in Connecticut, the Isle’s AHL affiliate: the Bridgeport Islanders adopted practically the same logo but with a few alternations in color and lettering.
