I would like to tell you something cool from my life, but nothing cool happened to me today. Except that I rode an e-scooter for the first time in my life today. It was quite okay 10/10.
YouTuber: open software bad cuz me confused by using it. So it bad, you must use Adobe for to make the good art.
Me: look at all this money I've spent on food rather than a subscription to a worse program! Look at all this art I've made using a free program and one that cost me a one time $15!
My hot take: photoshop is a bad program and it's UI is god awful and you're deluding yourself if you think it's actually good. "Industry standard" just means everyone is using the same thing. Not that the thing is any good. You cannot convince me otherwise and do not bother trying.
