I dunno, if someone presents me with two options:

- Annual plan, paid monthly: $50 / month

- Monthly plan: $75 / month

Then of course there is going to be a catch to the first one. I cannot imagine anyone being so naive they’d just assume both plans are the same aside from the price...

This comment is so tone deaf.

Tons of people will be so naive as to either not read closely, or just not know that the cheaper one comes with a catch.

It's an example of "this thing you complain of doesn't affect me, a working age adult, a university educated and highly paid white male, living in a rich area, so it couldn't possibly be of merit."

People should spend some more time in the community, talk to the old people at the library, do some volunteering. The immense difficulty many people have in filling out a government form is almost traumatic to witness.

It’s really hard to not blame the people that do ‘not closely’ read the 10 words they need to read to not get fucked by their $75 / month subscription.

Like, some basic due diligence when spending a lot of money is normal right?

Looking at the Adobe website, you can easily get in touch with sales reps if you have any questions about the products. These are products that cost hundreds of dollars per year and are marketed as tools for professionals. If you fly through without reading anything, or if you don't understand and don't ask for help... I'm not sure what you expect people to do.
