Evernote has just been abysmal lately that I took all my notes and left. They've been getting so annoyingly greedy that it's just unusable now.

Every time I open the app it spawns a pop-up ad telling me there's a limited time offer that will disappear if I close the ad, trying to FOMO people into buying it now
They slowly restricted usage on devices to just being logged into 2 at the same time. Oh, and you can't just keep swapping between them because there's a cooldown (buy premium NOW!11!1!)
They completely ruined the minimal aesthetic it had going on and are shoving random features nobody asked for like AI cleanup and AI powered search
They constantly bait you into trying features and then telling you it's premium-only. They ruined the home screen but that's okay, you can just customize it- Oops! You need premium to save your settings.

Good riddance. No idea how anyone puts up with it anymore.
