    I am totally supporting developers wanting to make money with their product.

    But the developer of Photopea has basically built a product for people who want to get rid of Adobe’s stupid subscription model and now he tries to force them to pay for his own subscription by breaking the application. That really doesn’t sit right with me.

    Why would I need to pay 8€/month for image editing features that run in my browser?

    It also doesn’t help that he went on Github and complained to the developers of uBlock Origin, replying with troll answers like “How can I help you?” but not wanting to accept any other answer than them allowing him to serve ads.

    This guy can get rekt, in my humble opinion. I did like the product before this change, though. Does anyone know of similar image editors out there that can batch-crop images in a certain aspect ratio/resolution and then export them to webp? (GIMP is terrible, sorry 🥹)

      GIMP isn’t terrible. You’re just used to doing things a certain way and GIMP does it differently.

    What do you mean “now”? Photopea has always been very aggresive towards adblocks.
