Are you also losing tens of thousands of yen? ~The cruel reality of note you can't afford to ignore~

Well then, today is about

the second big discovery I recently made on note

.

Some of you might be about to face a cruel reality.

Please proceed only if you are prepared.

From here on,

...this is a common way to start a paid article. I've always wanted to try it (lol).

Actually, I
found out something outrageous yesterday...

The whole thing started in the comment section of
a creator whose paid note I was about to buy.

I was planning to buy a 100-yen note, but

in the comments from someone who had already bought it, it said


"I thought it was 100 yen, but I actually paid 140 yen." I usually buy from the app, so


only note points are displayed as a payment method.

Seeing that comment, I thought,

"Ah, yeah, yeah. That's a classic beginner mistake.
Even if it says 100 yen, the actual amount you pay ends up being nearly 40% higher.
This person didn't know that."

I was thinking things like that with a condescending attitude.

What shocked me was the creator's reply.

"That's because you used note points.
If you pay by credit card, it's 100 yen as displayed."

...I felt a shock that turned my world upside down for the first time in a while.

To begin with.

Come to think of it,

I bought my first paid note ever through a browser.

I paid the amount as displayed using a credit card. Since the app is more convenient in many ways,

after installing the app, I bought my second note (which was expensive, too) through the app 😱

When I bought the second note,

I definitely felt something was off.

…Huh? When I bought the last one, it was the amount as displayed.

Why is the price shown in points this time?

The payment method only allows points, and paying with points is slightly more expensive. When buying points in bulk,

it says "Save ◯ yen!"
I only recognized it as being "slightly" more expensive.

For example, if you try to buy a 1980 yen note through the app.

When buying a 1980 yen note, you have to pay at least 2800 yen to charge points.

If you use a browser, it's the 1980 yen as displayed.

But without thinking too deeply about it beyond that,
I completed the payment by following the flow of purchasing points and then paying.

Not digging into my doubts here was my undoing.

Since then, I have continued to buy all paid notes through the app using points in the same way.

………

Ignorance is scary.

I have spent about 30,000 yen on note so far.
The first one was through a browser. The rest were all through the app…. I wish it had been the other way around.

Knowing the truth is harsh, but if you don't face it,
you won't learn anything.

I did the math.
↓Limited to notes purchased via the app.

Total amount of notes purchased so far: 27,820 yen
Estimated amount actually paid: 38,984 yen
Difference: 11,128 yen

It's an estimate because
I don't remember which points I added and combined.
So, I used a multiplier of 1.4 as a guideline.

I cried. In my heart.

At the same time, I felt sincere gratitude toward the person who commented on that article and the creator.

Did you all know this fact?

It turns out I was the one who kept going without knowing the most basic beginner mistakes.

　　Is this common knowledge in the note community?

What do you think? If there is anyone else who didn't know like me, please let me know in the comments 💦
