What they do instead

- Hiring UGC creator for $500/mo for 3-4 clips
- Paying photographer $300/quarterly for team headshots
- Hiring graphic designer for $200/mo

Read this fairly
These are complaints, and only complaints — nobody posts to say their software worked. A high count mostly reflects how many people use Capcut at all, so this page is not a quality judgement and should not be read as one. What it is good for is the shape of the gaps: the specific jobs people could not get done, which are the same whether the tool is popular or not.
