LWD,

Two things stand out:

  • Proton is not a charity, which means purchases are simply purchases and not donations (which IMO is fine).
  • It’s not a venture capitalist funded firm.

It’s that last one that means a lot, because even though [capitalism evil], venture capitalists take the cake for exploiting users and companies. As Skiff showed us, with Venture Capital, not only are you the product, but the company itself can be the product that gets sold to somebody else.

rdyoung,

I’ve been using Proton for a few years now. I’m slowly moving everything over to them and when they offered the visionary plan again last year I jumped on it despite right now it only being my wife and I using it with a 3rd account as a family email.

I learned my lesson from Plex about lifetime subscriptions…

rdyoung,

That isn’t a life time subscription. It’s a better version of the family plan. If you read the article/blog post you would have seen that they only offer lifetime plans for charity.
