Andy Yen's values are incompatible with Proton's mission. He advocates for poor security practices, supports fascists, and he verbally abuses his subordinates. As such, I can no longer in good conscience continue to financially support a company with such terrible leadership.

Unfortunately for me, my subscription just renewed last month on a multi year plan, but it does give me time to browse for and experiment with alternatives.

If you're able, I encourage you to do the same and cite Andy Yen as the driving factor for your decision. We can't let these tech bro fascists destroy what little semblance of privacy we have left.

Do you understand a source is? How can one provide a source to a subjective statement with a comparison that doesn't name a particular service? Provide me a source that my favorite dish is yakisoba.

I was just calling out your antagonism because making wild assumptions about me is pretty wild. Sorry if I'm being perceived as help vampire for asking for directions. Please, if you only wish to give information with a side dish of hostility then you can keep your secrets.
