Adobe still traps users with steep exit fees

Free trial converts and bills even after cancel attempts.

Annual monthly plans hit you with half the leftover cost to leave.

Fees can reach hundreds of dollars depending on months left.

Company only backs down when complaints go public and loud.

Policy has already cost Adobe a big government settlement this year.

A heartfelt Fuck You to @Adobe
