I love my reMarkable 2. I use it daily. It helps so much with productivity, and it’s a UX delight.

That said, the company has made some remarkably (sorry) user-hostile and concerning decisions. In particular, two things. First, they tried to paywall a bunch of important features behind an expensive subscription service. They rolled back the worst changes after a backlash, but damage done.

Second, they’ve been aggressively marketing the RM2 tablet, even though it’s outdated 4-year-old hardware. They hired some YouTube influencers to put out paid promotions disguised as reviews, and now they’re trying a big push in India. My assumption is that new hardware is imminent (it really has to be), so they’re using these underhanded tactics to dump inventory and have return periods expire before the new release.
