Will the social media ban impact Adobe Spaces, my favourite place to hang out in my favourite PDF viewing and editing app?*

I boot up my Windows partition to be met with fucking Adobe Acrobat trying to sell me a paid plan. I need to dismiss that pop-up within Acrobat before I can close the whole thing and it looks like Adobe are pumping their content marketing into Acrobat itself.
Who is going to open a PDF then be like, "Okay, I guess I'll see what Hasan Minhaj has to say about fucking PDFs." I would need to be super bored at work to do that.
Fuck this shitty company and their bullshit bloated program. Sumatra all the way, the only reason I keep Acrobat around is to sign the occasional PDF
I could see some marketing ghoul at Adobe getting a daily AI summary saying something like "There's a 3000% increase in people aged 14-19 talking about PDF files on Tiktok. Gen Z really loves your product!" And not interrogating the deeper context at all
