05/05/2023, 2:51 PMFor networking and connecting with others, I agree with @Scott Bennett. However, the Learning Library comes along with the premium, which I think is totally with the $35 or whatever it is.

05/05/2023, 2:57 PMYeah, I did not even really look at the learning library at the time. I didn't have any particular skills I needed to learn. I could see the value if you wanted to take some of those courses though.

05/05/2023, 3:15 PMI used to have it. Thinking to get it again. Especially if I can get Adobe to pay for it lol. I enjoyed the perks, but the price seemed a bit steep (I ended up getting it gifted to me from a group I volunteered my time doing mentorship for)
