@alc2022 $DUOL has also promised to drastically improve free user experience by reducing the friction that previously forced users to subscribe. This means less revenue in the short-term but massive potential for user growth in the long-term. The user experience will improve drastically!
$DUOL -22% after earnings
The company just announced it will be making its AI-powered speaking practice accessible to Super Duolingo subscribers and allow free users to complete nearly all exercises by speaking.
Does this make you bullish or bearish?

@QualityInvest5 On the other hand third-party sources indicate there is practically no search volume for these keywords, which makes a lot more sense. Who searches "cancel Adobe"? You just do it in the UI...
Something is wrong with Google Trends

If this is real, the Q2 2026 report is going to be a bloodbath.
@QualityInvest5 What is your take on this? A few of those searches might be by a Fortune 500 CMO, no?
@QualityInvest5 This is the case in any phase of innovation. Look at all the failed software businesses of the past. Everyone thought due to their strong network effect they were unbeatable, but when a solution came along that was good enough to justify switching...
@QualityInvest5 Just out of curiosity, how did you come to the conclusion that 90% of Adobe revenue is from enterprises? No matter how I try to reconstruct that I don't reach values beyond 55%. So say Adobe loses the consumer segment -> revenue down 45%.
@QualityInvest5 Even if this is true, AI will cannibalize Adobe's software suite. I understand your argument with control but with AI getting better with every day there will be a point where the cost of control is too high.
