Adobe has tried to get us to "convert" our perpetual license to a CC license with discounts involved. I have a question for you then since maybe you know. I have a friend who worked at Adobe, and I think they're pretty aware that there is some unhappiness, they're just gambling that that it won't matter. It would seem a pretty odd waste of money not not use their own forums to gather data. Also, most companies spend a lot of money on market research. If adobe can survive without us, so be it.Īnyway, regardless if it works or not, I don't think bottom-up thinking is so inherently incomprehensible.

I'm not saying that it will work, though it does seem like some professionals, like myself, who have used Adobe for decades and spent many thousands of dollars on products, are trying to avoid renting software for as long as possible because they think it's an unfair deal. You don't rally a support for a boycott by talking to the top, you do it by talking to the bottom. I'm not sure that in this case there is a consensus, but that is the idea. You get to see if there is a consensus, and rally support if there is one. Starting a conversation with other users is bottom-up thinking. Basically, they can tell us what we think. In top down thinking, the top has all the control and sets the dialogue and propaganda (advertising, stock announcements etc) The company can ignore feedback from the bottom and easily project the impression that any naysayers are a tiny minority of isolated nut jobs. Sending a note to a company is top - down thinking. Ok, I'm not saying that it's an effective strategy, but here's maybe what you're not understanding: I'll never understand why people come to a company web site and leave messages about how terrible the company is in a User-To-User forum where is does absolutely no good.
