Anyone that unironically uses the word "loser" to try to motivate a policy by mocking the opposite, is not mature or responsible enough to be in a position of power.
Also, mocking instead of giving technical reasons only happens when you are not right but want to win the argument anyway.
So yeah, he just outed himself as not fit for any manager position, worst of all a CEO.
People saying they will go back if he steps down, I think this kind of is a wake up call on the company using privacy not seriously but as a marketing gimmick.
I would stay away from them. Surprise surprise, another YouTube advertised product that is shit....
What even is the alternative, I don’t see any other privacy focused company that is directly trying to tackle the g suite with an email+storage+office combo.
Sure we have mailbox.org, cryptpad, and other specific privacy cloud providers, but none of them have them all in combination.
IDK, I configured my own email with a cheap VPS when google made me mad so I didn't depend on anyone, but yeah that is not for everyone.
There's an argument to not have an all-in-one provider though: it increases vendor lock-in. If a company turns into a direction you don't like, you'd have to find a suitable alternative to replace all of your services, and that takes a lot of time and effort. If you spread it between multiple companies however, you'll only need to switch a few, maybe even have less work if you use a domain (for example for custom aliases).
Plus, something about Proton I disliked is that their products are missing key features you just expect from your products. For example, every mail provider offers you the option to add todo-lists or even journals, because WebDAV just has it, however Proton still lacks that to my knowledge. Other password safe programs have a folder system to better organise your entries. Proton Pass does not. I'd rather use many companies that each does one thing well than one that does everything rather mediocre.
