Every time someone mentions Obsidian, I'm reminded that I like it, but not as much as paying $8 USD monthly for being able to sync notes to my other devices.
I pay a couple of cents per GB per month for rsync.net, and I understand they're very different use cases, but why is syncing my 40 MB of notes so expensive?
Obsidian runs on a local folder of files on your device, so there are a dozen different sync services you can use including several free options, e.g. Git, Syncthing, etc.
With Obsidian Sync, your $8 don't only go towards syncing. It helps Obsidian remain profitable and 100% user-supported (no VC investors). Subsidizing costs in pursuit of growth is what got Evernote here.
