Same here.

I remember suggesting alternatives like GIMP to photography pros years ago simply because I could see where Adobe was heading when they changed to the subscription model.

Don’t get me wrong, they were innovative a long time ago however now they are structured purely on greed and add nothing deserved my of their services nowadays.

Agreed. Plus if you know Photoshop, you know GIMP as they are very similar and GIMP can even open Photoshop files. I use GIMP and Blender 3D daily.

GIMP and Blender are good, but what's a good alternative for video like Adobes Premiere Pro?

Last I looked (Admittedly years ago) the open source offerings for video editing/production were quite behind

I use OpenShot for all my video editing. It is open source and cross platform.
