- Capricorn2481 3y agoI'm not disagreeing with people who like taking notes. I use Obsidian myself (and I'm not weirdly triggered by this comment either). But watch any marketing video for Roam Research or anything adjacent to that and you will usually see people talking about Zettelkasten. In fact, I've seen lots of Obsidian users flat out say you're not actually building a Zettelkasten unless you're outputting original content. It's not controversial to say Obsidian tool tweaking can be fun and productive, but could also tap into the exact wrong parts of peoples OCD brain. No reason to be hostile for an observation of a community, especially as low stakes as "notetakers." I don't think they have a monopoly on taking notes?
