You can call/chat to them and get a discounted annual plan. Also, there's usually a 50% off black friday deal you can buy on Amazon. Seems weird to buy a subscription discount on Amazon, but you can and it emails you a code that you can use. So I have the 1TB Lightroom Cloud sub for £60/year. Complete bargain.
I see these acquisitions as a reset. They spend a huge sum to acquire established, but struggling, products and strip the size of the company to the minimum required to keep it operating. This is very much the Musk model.
At this point they have stopped the cash bleeding and made profit margins healthy again. From there they can more easily rationalise how to take it forward over the next 5-10 years.
That might mean stripping unpopular product features, rebranding, going upmarket, whatever.
It’s a real shame for all the staff, of course, but from a business point of view it’s going to be interesting to see how it plays out.
Ok that’s good to know thanks. With Pagecord it’s already open source so you can always have the code, and you can export content in markdown or HTML any time. I always imagined that would be enough…?
The problem with https://ooh.directory/ is that nobody can tell what gets added and what doesn't. Submissions go through an opaque review process and a lot of good submissions don't make it. If you search for your favorite bloggers there, chances are that they're missing from there.
