Canva is on the traditional corp Extend, Embrace, Extinguish mission to snuff Digital Content Design that is local only and has no AI. Canva bought Affinity Design Suite, which was the reaction of the non-corp creative world to not have to Adobe Creative Cloud, may it burn.
I believe we are in the era of "the great rug pull" of consumer empowered technology, moving to corp empowered technology stack, with them in control at all levels.
Canva is very much trying to become another juggernaut that dominates a space, but I don’t quite get how this is an example of EEE.
They are trying to dominate the market through the good ‘ol acquisition and consolidation strategy. AKA, buy up my current and would be competitors. Is there a standard that they are actually embracing and trying to extend? Example: Meta embracing and contributing to Activity Pub.
There's no S for Standard in Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. The term was formulated long before MS was trying to suppress standards in the late 90's to early 2000's. No need to insert something that isn't there.
But what are you suggestign they have embraced then extended with the intent of extingushing it? Just buying up competetors is certainly anti-competative but it doesnt fall into the pattern of EEE.

Absurd bot numbers. Please don't anyone thinks the above is a real person with a real opinion, I certainly don't. You ("They" when I'm talking to the aware reader of this post) are a paid influencer, bot, AI, group account, etc. The internet is dead because of insanely stupid posts and accounts like this one. Every real designer I know would not touch Canva with a 10ft pole and the Affinity buyout stinks.
Go back to space!
Apparently saying that they’re doing something differently shitty means I’m “sticking up” for them.
