There's a lot of tools that are very useful but I'm not going to spend that much on. My water bottle is one.
And I don't think food is a good comparison. Or renting a physical space, depending on what you get out of being a regular.
Still, the basic price of $50 a year for sync is something I wouldn't be very upset with... except my main goal is a collaborative setup with other people and I'm not paying 5x or more to make that work.
It comes down to how much is your time worth. If you're a developer making $100K+ a year, a $1,000 over a decade is nothing if it increases your productivity 2-3X compared to your collegues, which considering the fact that some of my colleagues store their notes in Windows Notepad is a complete underestimation.
So obsidian let's me get 40 hours of work had I used notepad for notes done in 13-20 hours?
I store my code snippets, config templates, daily changelogs, todo lists, and note templates in Obsidian and use them probably dozens of times a day. I have keyboard shortcuts that open up specific notes that I copy code snippets and filepaths from. If you were to put me next to someone that was storing their notes in notepad I would bet you money that they take 2-3x as long as I do.
