Article missed the MOST important part of Evernote's collapse, IMHO: https://www.theverge.com/2016/12/16/13979778/evernote-privac...

That's why I left Evernote. I can't imagine trying to tell their story without mentioning that.

Same reason I left after years of paying, they later backtracked but I’d moved on and don’t really trust they won’t do similar again.

> they later backtracked

Evernote never embraced privacy. On-device encrypted and analyzed notes would have made them a natural Apple acquisition, to boot.

for every failing company that does this there are tons of successful ones that don’t fail. uber, google, facebook, etc
