I think there is an argument to be made about the poor learning curve (ironic) for learning how to organize and use Anki

This is probably my biggest gripe. It’s so much information to digest at first, it’s a tough ask. And there’s so many rookie mistakes.
I made the mistake of just jumping in and I would say I spent the first 6 months using Anki “wrong” in the sense I would make bad cards, try to make mc questions, not enabling or optimizing FSRS, capping reviews, doing Anki before I knew the material, etc.
I’m someone who loves to learn from scratch/figure it out myself. I would never recommend watching a YouTube tutorial or following a guide for something you can figure out yourself, but I have to make an exception for Anki. Anki is one of those rare things where it’s simply just better to just copy what someone else is doing and figure out adjustments for your own workflow over time.
