    I’ve never understood why anyone uses Evernote. Just use a folder with Markdown files. Or Obsidian. Or VS Code with plugins. Or EMacs org mode. So many good FOSS options out there (yes, I know VS Code isn’t FOSS but VSCodium is) that don’t lock you in. Hypocritical of me to say as an Apple user, but I hate when companies’ business models are to lock in consumers. Just make a better product that’s worth paying for.

      It’s simple. The people using Evernote didn’t care about being locked in.

        Same shit will happen to all those people building their shit on the back of Discord.

        At some point all the people who paid for it will want to see some returns, and suddenly it’s costing you $30 a month to access your own content.
