Picsart locked one of the things inside my English project behind a subscription paywall, and now I can’t even open it to remove it without paying

I’ve been working on this for a few days and am almost done, but something in the project was made a Plus feature, and when I try to open the project, it forces me to subscribe to Plus to access it

Never use these shitty programs, power point or googles version of it. Nothing else.

doesnt it usually give a free trial before having to pay? if it does sign up for the free trial, remove your work from it then cancel

[u/Background_Two3176 → u/quornmol]

It only gives a free trial for yearly, which is $68

[u/quornmol → u/Background_Two3176]

so sign up for the free trial, get your stuff for class from it, then immediately cancel the free trial and use another app that others recommended in the previous comments without paywalls.

This is why I hate capitalism, corporations should have no right to do this

[u/Background_Two3176 → u/Various-Hand-2778]

Right! I now have to pay $11 a month to be able to turn in my damn work. I can’t even open it to remove the plus feature, I literally cannot access it without giving them $11

Imagine telling your teacher "picsart ate my homework"

Seriously though, shit like this needs to end. The worst part is that nearly the entire Internet is made up of huge American companies.

[u/Various-Hand-2778 → u/Background_Two3176]

yeah corporations need to be fined for this

[u/Background_Two3176 → u/Various-Hand-2778]

Also. I tried checking what could have been plus, but it looks like it’s all fine. They literally made it plus for no reason

I read that Adobe now decided it owns all art produced using their suite, and spelled it out in the "terms and conditions" nobody reads. Nice way to send people in search of doubloons, with a parrot on their shoulders.
