I'm so f***ing tired of Obsidian.

This is less a market video than a product/workflow rant centered on note-taking and team operations. The speaker says his channel and business run through Notion: content calendars, topic lists, research, assignments, brands, sponsors, and publishing workflows are all organized there. He opens by describing how Notion recently failed at a bad time, which triggered a wave of comments telling him to use Obsidian instead. His thesis is blunt: that advice is misguided because his use case is not “personal notes,” but a collaborative system used by multiple people to manage a production pipeline. He spends most of the video showing why Notion fits his workflow. He describes a Kanban board linked to a calendar, with relational database fields that connect topics to brand sponsorships and production status. …

1. The speaker’s real use case is a multi-person content pipeline, not private note-taking.
2. Notion’s relational databases, calendar views, and collaborative editing are central to the workflow.
3. Obsidian is framed as useful for solo notes or markdown management, not team operations.
4. He acknowledges Notion’s bugs and fragility but считает the workflow fit still superior.
5. He rejects the idea that file ownership alone solves the operational problem.
6. He views “just use Obsidian” as advice from people misunderstanding the constraints.

• He asserts Obsidian is not open source, but many viewers may have assumed otherwise; the transcript does not independently verify the technical nuance.
• He strongly generalizes that most Obsidian users are motivated by feeling cool or righteous; that is more rhetorical than evidenced.
• He implies Obsidian is basically unusable for team sync, but this is presented from his workflow and may not apply universally.
• He treats Notion as uniquely necessary for his pipeline, but does not compare against other collaborative database tools in depth.
• The claim that commenters are misunderstanding the use case is plausible, but he largely argues it by assertion and frustration rather than side-by-side evidence.
