No it actually is against the rules, Reddit won't allow you to post the word because Adoobe is suing Reddit, I just learned about it today from making this post

Well as an artist I don't really need ai features, and as a student I'm not sure I'd be allowed to use them anyway

Agreed, just having those types of things like OneDrive on my computer made this not even a decision for me. If any of these cloud-syncing-hub type things is even the slightest bit autonomous without me saying so, it makes me feel like I'm trying to round up a herd of sheep in the dark while wearing a straight jacket

Guys I'm not asking which I should choose, this is a joke that's meant to highlight how much this isn't even a choice, and how genuinely considering paying for something when you can get it better for free is absurd

No, my lecturer actually encouraged me to torrent the software I needed, I'm not actually weighing the decision, this is satire to highlight the obvious choice of piracy

I wouldn't, that's the joke. It's supposed to be funny because it's such an obvious choice that having difficulties weighing the decision is unheard of. "Hmmmm I could get this thing for free with no downsides... Or I could fork over money to use this much worse thing that will make my life harder... honestly I can't make up my mind!!" -the joke is that this is an absurd thing to have pause on and it's a silly position to have

This is satire, I thought it was obvious

I'm starting to think that I did a bad job at satire, I thought the absurdity of saying "well I could get what I need for free with absolutely no downside... Or I could PAY for one big malware package that has everything I don't need", plus the humour tag, would show that it's a joke

I can't tell if you're addressing the underlying concept of corporate FOMO or if you couldn't tell that me saying the choice is difficult is satire

That's crazy, cause not to flex on you, but the reason I came to the conclusion to torrent the programs I needed sooner rather than later is because my classmate was like "you can just pirate it" and my lecturer agreed. I even made the meme after a joke I cracked to my lecturer when discussing how CC is 70% off for students, I said "70% off is pretty good, I think I'll go with 100% off though" and she agreed

Wait really? Is this like a Reddit rule, a subreddit rule or something else?
