Why Millions Are Deleting Adobe (FTC Lawsuit Explained)
Adobe is by far the most recognizable creative software company in the world. From Photoshop and Premiere Pro to After Effects and PDFs, Adobe is ubiquitous. Don’t confuse this popularity with happy customers though because Adobe’s customers are actually quite loathing of Adobe for a variety of reasons starting with the subscription. Adobe has not only completely eliminated the option to buy their software but they’ve implemented several predatory subscription policies to milk customers for as much as possible. In fact, their policies were so predatory that the FTC is suing 2 executives who played a direct role in shaping these policies. Aside from milking customers for their money, Adobe also got into a habit of milking their work. Allegedly, Adobe was using local work on users’ computers to train their AI models. All of this has driven the distaste for Adobe into overdrive leading users to leave in droves to Da Vinci Resolve and Affinity. This video explains the various controversies Adobe is caught up in and why millions are deleting Adobe.

How YouTubers Exposed A $1 Billion Company
Newegg used to be the goto place for gamers and PC enthusiasts to buy PC parts. But, over the past couple of years, Newegg has fallen out of favor. In fact, their stock is down over 99% since IPO. Why you ask? Well, Newegg has changed over the years. Some of the attributes that made them shine over competitors like Amazon was their custom service for PC parts. Not only was their website tailormade for PC builders but their customer support was bragworthy. But, over the years, Newegg has not only started to slack on customer service, but it appears that Newegg is actively neglecting customer service. From blaming customers for preexisting damage to refusing to accept valid returns, Newegg slowly turned their core audience against them. And this only blew up in their face when large creators began experiencing the same frustrations and began sharing with their audience. This video explains the various pitfalls of Newegg and how Newegg fell from grace.

The Reddit Protest Explained (From Reddit’s Perspective)
By now, I’m sure you’ve heard about the Reddit protests and blackouts but what exactly is going on with Reddit? Why are people protesting and why did the protest fail? Well, the core of the protest boils down to the pricing of developer tools that help thirdparty websites and apps integrate portions of Reddit into their own platforms. Till recently, accessing these developer tools was completely free but in April, Reddit announced that they would begin charging $0.24 per 1000 API requests. In the grand scheme of things, this isn’t a ridiculously high fee for API requests, but for many of the thirdparty platforms that relied on these tools, this is an unfeasible rate. In an effort to fight against these price hikes and prevent these other platforms from shutting down, many Reddit communities decided to go dark to spread awareness and fight back. But, despite their valiant efforts, Reddit never backed down and these various 3rd party platforms are still set to shut down at the end of June. This video takes a deep dive into the Reddit protests and why the Reddit protests failed.

The Demise Of PhilipsHow An Electronics Juggernaut Was Toppled
Philips is by far one of the most recognizable electronics companies in the world. They dominated the electronics space all through the 1900s and they’re basically synonymous with light bulbs and plasma TVs. But, heading in the 2000s, Philips has had a tough time staying relevant within the electronics space. In fact, Philips even dropped the word “electronics” from their name in the early 2010s. Since then, they have shifted much of their focus to producing healthcare equipment like MRI machines and respirators. The other products that carry their name aren’t even made by Philips. It’s actually made by Chinese companies who bought the branding rights to Philips. This video explains the story one of the most legendary electronics companies of all time and their fall from grace.

The Dire State Of Volkswagen...What Happened?
Volkswagen is one of the most iconic car brands in the entire world owning brands like Audi, Porsche, Lamborghini, Bentley, and even Bugatti at one point. This made them the largest car maker in the world at several points, but more recently, Volkswagen has lost their way. First of all, they had that massive emission scandal that destroyed consumer trust and brand credibility. Even putting that aside though, Volkswagen has had a very difficult time transitioning to electric vehicles. Their former CEO, Herbert Diess was a massive fan of Tesla and tried to push Volkswagen to embark on an allout push to switch to electric. Not all of Volkswagen’s board members were enthusiastic about this plan, but they agreed to it anyway, and unfortunately, it’s not playing out so great. This video explains the various reasons Volkswagen is struggling with their pivot to EVs and the future of Volkswagen.

The Baffling Economics Of The Xbox
The Xbox was Microsoft’s grand entry into the gaming space over two decades ago. At first, it seemed like Microsoft was killing it with the original Xbox and the Xbox 360, but ever since then, it has only been downhill for the Xbox. In fact, nowadays, the Xbox is only selling half as well as the PlayStation. Normally, this wouldn’t be a problem because half, as well as the Playstation, is already a boatload of units, but for Microsoft, this is not all that great as they’ve been selling the latest Xbox at a loss of up to $200 per unit. So, the only way for Microsoft to make money from the Series S and X is to sell a bunch of games and use profit from those games to offset losses from the console itself. But with a general lack of exclusives, inferior hardware to the Playstation, and a waning fanbase, it seems that this task is only going to become harder and harder with time. This video explains the challenges that Microsoft is facing with the Xbox and their desperate pivot to mobile gaming.
