    Its only a matter of time before canva enshitifies affinity. DaVinci has a studio version which is paid once which is good. But davinci is essentially an ad for their hardware where they make their real money.

    Canva doesn’t have a similarly sustainable model as far as I can see. They just have pro tier subscriptions for arbitrarily paywalled features.

      And I’ll happily keep on using the old version without updating it.

      It’s just a bunch of other companies trying to lock you into their systems before they crank up the subscription price and enshittify. It buys a little time and saves some money in the short term, but only FOSS could address the deeper problems.
