Second video on the channel now! Still working on my camera presence when doing talking head videos but hope to improve in the next one! 😅

i definitely felt it " who hasn't been creating any art lately-- - -- " 😭

Thank you so much for wading into the deep weeds and bringing back the “Here’s what you need to know” on these awful topics, and even sharing the “But take heart - All is not lost” suggestions and resources for divorcing ourselves from Adobe. I don’t use the term “divorce from Adobe” lightly either. I’ve been a loyal fan and user of their products all the way back to Photoshop 2.1.4 back in 1994 (I’m talking the days before Photoshop even had layers.) I‘ve been locked in tight with Adobe for decades and had no problem with that, but you summed it up perfectly: it’s not the same Adobe that used to make the best image editing/creation/page design/video editing tools for a market of Creatives hungry and excited to use them. This “marriage” has gone abusive and we the users have been reduced to just feeding Adobe’s greed and who knows what else. Thank you also for the suggestions on how to get out and realize that it’s not 2003 anymore: They are no longer the only game in town. Much luck and blessings for your new channel.

Krita is better than photoshop anyways imo, and its free, i switched a couple months back, after photoshop corrupted psd file loosing an entire days work and now this drama... Good point about cara tho, it doesnt have the instagrams numbers, but i think its a good alternative for artstation, to have the portfolio sit somewhere safe from ai at least

This is why its so important to build an email list from all your followers across all your socials. This way you can reach them directly no matter the status of the social platforms

I also love this. It feels like the design field is finally getting the attention it needs from the mass public. Now people who arent apart of the art world can be aware about how its affecting content in general. Kinda crazy, sad, exciting all at the same time. This might force change.

Adobe is like a hardware that sells you a tool, spies everything you do with it and has the brass neck to ask you to pay up for throwing it away.

This was a really awesome video, the creative space is changing so rapidly, and I'm so hyped for more news anchor Leena XD

GIRLLL you had me at 0:38!!! 😅 Really I appreciate this video so much. I agree, I don't think Cara is going to be any replacement for Instagram, even though Instagram does kind of suck. The Adobe thing is so wild, too. I've never had a subscription because I'm cheap (and not a professional). 🤣 But I seriously appreciate you sharing that list of Adobe alternatives. Also, you've got me wanting cabbage now. I love your vibe!!

Users should have turned their backs on Adobe already when the company switched to the totally ridiculous and over priced subscription model. Not being an artist myself but but a software developer for more than 30 years, I can clearly say that in my field no company could ever afford to pull off something like this without a massive exodus to alternatives - most of them even from open source. It is about time that the case of Adobe is a warning to all companys who think their customers are only there to nod to every business decision that is being made. The current case of 'Stable Diffusion' is similar in this regard.

NEW LEENA VIDEO!!! IM HERE IM HERE!! I'm glad you kept filming and posted this!! I love the sound of your voice 🥰

Sometimes I really wonder if millennials are just under attack. Our generation has not been able to make money, fall in love, get married, have kids, own a home or use their degrees. Most of us wanted to pursue creative careers and it feels like even this is just being taken from us. All we get is a degree, debt, living with our parents in our 30s, singleness, broken dreams and the potential of the death of our country, and endless politics and war.

So glad I found your channel! I love interacting with small channels. I loved your video. I will most probably never stop using adobe because they provide me too much value (I am a video editor using premiere, after effects and photoshop since forever), but I did ask Meta to not use my data to train AI, also just made a Cara account thanks to your video. Thanks! Wish you well with your channel!

Several indi game developers I kmow are getting interested in Cara and started searching for freelance artists there already

Being in college we have to use adobe in most cases, especially for like videos, or UV texturing, there's features there we need so I can't leaveeee

Congrats on getting a 1k sub with the 2nd video. Looking forward to seeing more of your content.

huuhuuu i love your talking vids

I'm REALLY not into Socialmedia and such so most of these News just go over my Head but nontheless its interesting to know whats going in in the Great Ocean of the Interwebs outside of my Bubble. The Change in Artistry rn is really weird and its gonna get way weirder in the Future I imagine. Great Video, you've got a new Sub ✌️💚

ANOTHER LEENA VIDEO!!!! IM SO READY!!! I love listening to you hehe 🥹💕

that intro when she introduces herself hits hard. damn, mood

Great video! Really like your room too btw looks spacious and cozy/calm... time to upgrade my room... btw Im happy adobe is doing this it mean more people will finally leave that burning ship and move to other software eg I've seen recently large influx of pro's moving to clip studio paint which Im happy about because at least clip studio adds new features and improves itself adobe havent added anything good/useful for last 10 years

The sea is salty and the sky is blue It's a good time to set sail

I'm not sure how this narrative of "Cara is going to be a Instagram Killer/replacement!" got started, but its very annoying. It was never meant to be that. If Cara was ever meant to replace anything, it is way more inline as a replacement for something like Deviantart or Artstation, a social portfolio platform for artists. "For artists by Artists" its an app meant for artists. And as you said, Artists are only a tiny fraction of the Instagram population. People assuming it would kill instagram is just kinda silly.

Wowwwwieeeee blessing us with another cute videoooo ❤

I think we need a new twitter tbh. Twitter was soooo great for artists to get out of the "art bobble" and have their work seen by regular people. From personal experience about 2 years ago I made a RWBY fanart just cuz I wanted some cool sword of scythe to make a 3D model of, just as practice, and it popped of on twitter out of nowhere it's by far my most seen piece of art. But twitter is been completely destroyed and we don't have any good replacement for it so far. Apps like Cara are great for finding inspiration tho, appreciating great works of art fills one's soul.

Oooooo thank you for informing us about the art side of things! I had no idea about adobe thing, and I'm tempted to take my sticker account to Cara hehe

OMG your space is so cute and I love your vibe. 🥰

OMG YAY NEW VIDEO

Thank you Leena!!

I don't use SOME, much, i kinda hate to use it haha! I also don't have an art business, so i only post my creations here and there. But just gave Cara a look, and in a way it looks nice, to just have the artists and nothing else, no weird dance videos, just art.. I hope Cara can become something big without loosing its values ^^

Meta doesn't care, and never cared about artists. Meta is advertising revenue based. It only cares about number of views. Views of what? It doesn't care. Unfortunately Cara is not yet ready for prime time. The best place for an artist to show their work is their own website. Adobe figures it's current users will stick with them (at least most will), so the challenge is how to get new users to pay their outrageous subscription fees. The trick is to let AI do all the work so the users need less actual skills.

a delightful commentary :)

You did a great job on this video

Girl you are speaking facts

oh God i got flashbacks of Rama works Kara when you said Kara 💀edit: oh.. it’s Cara 😂

i agree artist sell to art lovers not fellow artists. as Cara gets adopted the art lovers will follow maybe? 🤔

I for one, welcome our new AI overlords *blinks twice*

Lena with the most comfy news

Greatest Juloon video ever

Any platform that uses ai will also have these terms. Figma, Capture One etc

I really hope a whole lot of people leaves adobe and they go under

if i could like this video a thousand times, I WOULD!

I can't even op out from Insta, i am in Canada

Fun fact: I was making dinner & had just poured a vodka cranberry for myself when you apologized for saying “art” so many times, so I decided to play a little drinking game and finished half the glass in like 15 seconds 😅 🙃 thx for a good time!

wooohooo leeenaaa!!

the last few years has pretty much killed me creatively. ontop of losing access to proper art programs, ai art just has started to completely overshadow artists in my experience. I closed commissions, I barely got any as it is. depression from the current state of the world including the art world has just made me lose my drive for it. I draw for myself, but thats it.

This whole scene of streaming media, media platforms, social media and Ai is a sure sign of a humanity that have settled with mediocracy. We have all walked right into the trap that was set already when the wired radio was introduced. Mass entertainment is the gospel since the early 1900. Nothing good can come out of it in the long run. Just lethargic minds.

im so f*cking tired of this. im done with the internet.

Juloon is my new favorite month😂

I didnt know thanks for the video

Everyone forgets about dead souls. Quite a large part of Instagram accounts are dead souls

keep making videos!

What’s stopping Cara from saving your art before it’s glazed?

I did not know about the adobe thing oh geez 😅😅😅 I was planning to leave too 😅

omg you’re so cute I love this content 💖

more videos pls

🔥🔥🔥 news

I don't see the point of Cara either. I am a musician but somehow Cara only allows Uploads of Pictures so far? Or am I stupid?

I wonder if you can grab an image you upload to Cara and use it for Instagram. It would have been already edited to make it unusable for AI.

Cara is not for new user friendly, no one saw my post. Only viral post up be there.

Don't. forget Bobby Chiu is promoting Cara. Do you like to be scammed again? just like his NFT.Also, don't forget that previously, you couldn't unsubscribe from Schoolism unless you emailed them directly. However, they are changing their policy due to numerous complaints.

ya'll should group sue Meta

is Adobe the Apple of creative software 🤨

Nice video

YES! Bye Adobe!

For Adobe I had to upgrade my ram just to use it to get hit by that a few days after, disgustang

Adobe is no longer a software for creatives. Those who are there are clearly dependent on the "AI" tools. No creative is like "yea, you can just have my work" lol. Insta and meta is just a bunch of bots. Even the humans on it act like algorithm chasing robots. If the audience/client wants real art? Then they will go to Cara and other future platforms that stand for artists as those will be the links on artist portfolios. They want AI and egotistical "creators" faking every image? They have Instagram, meta, microsoft, adobe and everyone else chasing write off investment millionaire garbage.

I think Cara is really geared towards concept artists and very well established illustrators. The best use case being those who already have a great degree of notoriety already, and don't really need to advertise themselves except to potential employers. Not that it isn't great for other types of artists too, but you are right in that the audience is going to be mostly artists there. I think of it as the next incarnation of Artstation.

Cara is Spanish for “Face”. Is Cara a Facebook company?

It's more like instagram and abode are fucked not the artists

Unless you already have a big following in Cara I don't see the point in making an account. I posted 5 pieces of art and zero interactions😊

Just discovered this account, love the content! Subscribed 🎉🫡

4:50 its called mutual HJob

we all F*CKED - i work for a big corpo - and now AI wites better code than me - fortunately my boss is again innovation - I have few years left :)

Couldn't get through the video, but one thing you said in the beginning really confused me. It's a field day for creatives? Are you implying creatives are all masochists that enjoy getting screwed over?

deviantart is better, why you people dont talk about it? cara pays you? is they doing a marketing move? well done anyway, any other web than meta web is better now for sure

Its extremely annoying to listen to you tbh but I did stick till 8 mins

Your chanmel is going to be plain horrible. If this is the best presentation style you can think of, you won't quit 9 to 5 any time soon.
