Hi All, I am thrilled to announce that Affinity is joining the Canva family.

It's just so cringy seeing this weird corpospeak saying "we've been acquired, another corporation paid money to own our assets".

Also, of course you are thrilled, you’re getting a fat check lol.

Literally these messages could be written by an AI, they’re so generic.

“We’re thrilled”: we’ve been paid to be happy and have golden handcuffs on. “Nothing will change”: We’re busy popping champagne bottles and ordering private jets and besides this isn’t our concern any more. The new owner will eventually make some changes I’d imagine. “We’re committed to”: we are making no promises and until we announce changes we will fully back the current policies.
