Yeah, but there are degrees of vulnerability. Otherwise, things like password strength or MFA wouldn't matter.
If all your passwords are fully random, then that's one less weakness that can be exploited. People can't make educated guesses about your passwords just from analysing your social media profiles and history, e.g. if you post a lot about Star Wars, it's more likely your passwords could contain a Star Wars reference.
That system is vulnerable to social engineering attacks. If hackers found out all their favourite things that lead to the core part of the password, guessing the prefix wouldn't be that hard. Also, what would your friend do if one of these passwords got compromised and had to change it? Would he just add a 1 to the site-specific part of the password?

Ah, a fellow dramatic connoisseur.
Actually, it's a prairie dog.

I was using the Signal "notes to self" too when taking notes during talks and conferences. Taking quick pictures of the slides in context was also a key thing for me. Exporting these unstructured notes into a useful notes archive is a pain as you say, especially if there is media too.
I caught myself doing this so often that I ended up building myself an app for this specific workflow. It's rather simple, just an MVP if you will, but it works well for me. Taking notes works exactly like Signal's "note to self" but it has some QoL stuff on top of that like separate notebooks and exporting notes and pictures to a single PDF archive. I can then import the PDF archive into Notion, which is my main notes repository. Notion can now parse PDF files and import them as regular Notion pages, which closes the loop for me rather nicely. YMMV ofc
I haven't published it to any app stores yet (might do in the future) but the source code is available here if you're technically savvy and happy to build and install it yourself.
