And when Evernote was at the height of it's popularity, the same article would have been written "How to succeed like a unicorn: Be 5% to EVERYONE!".

If you did, you would have seen this quote from former CEO Libin in 2013: “What winds up happening at Evernote conferences is that people go and they say, ‘Oh, I love Evernote and I’ve been using it for years and now I realize I’ve only been using it for 5 percent of what it can do,’ ” Libin said. “And the problem is that it’s a different 5 percent for everyone. If everyone just found the same 5 percent, then we’d just cut the other 95 percent and save ourselves a lot of money. It’s a very broad usage base. And we need to be a lot better about tying it together. And I think we have. We’ve got a few things we’re launching over the next few months to help with that.” He recognized it was a problem. At the time, he also thought they had a strategy for dealing with it effectively, but obviously Evernote didn't. They've had a ton of layoffs, and he stepped down earlier this year. Sidenote: If you disagree with a headline, you should probably either read the article or not comment.
