You are a senior executive at Adobe.

The CEO of Adobe summons you in his office.

You are in charge of creating a secret task force. The goal is to systematically undermine open source software such as Krita, Inkscape, Kdenlive or GIMP. You have a $50 million budget. Nobody in the company knows about this project except you and Adobe’s CEO.

What would you do?


Pay a bunch of simps to make posts all over about how they tried switching to linux and/or GIMP but it was too hard and broke all the time, claiming that open source is “just a hobby.”
