Cons
Con Uses affiliate links, which can be seen as an invasion of privacy
Affiliate links are usually not only a way to earn money with advertisement. They also include generating user profiles, which could be seen as a big privacy issue.
Con Only list view available
Con No iOS app
While many other operating systems have a client, iOS does not have one yet (though it is planned).
Con No image embedding
Instead of image embeddings, there's a sort of poor man's substitute: image + description. If you add an image, you can create a description of any size and with all the formatting features. It can be used instead of image embedding but much more limited: only one image and only at the very top.
Con Internet dependent
Requires Internet connection to initiate offline mode, loses access to notes without Internet or server.
