As a business intelligence professional, I have tons of good use cases for vector graphics in my work, but I've never really understood all the hype around Canva, especially since PowerPoint can already fulfill most of those use cases. I'm certainly no graphic artist or UI/UX designer, so maybe I'm not really their target demographic, but I know plenty of BI professionals who are *rabid* Canvangelists.
But those winds may be shifting, because Canva is *quadrupling* its license fees, and they're saying that the price hike is justified because they've added a bunch of AI features.
Did they actually ask their users if they even want AI features in the first place, and if so, how much they'd be willing to pay for them? Judging from the huge backlash about this policy change, I'm going out on a limb and guessing not.
