  "textContent": "I’m an Adobe hater so naturally this headline appeals to me.\n\nBut, like…._Why?_\n\nI’m guessing this some DRM nonsense, because the only other reason I can think of is whether to give a popup to install AdobeCC to the user. If they see it’s already installed then they don’t send it.\n\nBut that seems like a lot of effort over a popup.\n\nI do wonder what the Adobe community would do about this kind of malware-esque practice. Apps like Photoshop are so engrained into industries that I don’t expect many cancellation fees will get handed out.\n\nHas any other service/product messed with host files like this?",
