The contempt Proton is showing for their users is astounding. They not only think people will fall for this transparent act of damage control, but they also have the gall to shift blame onto the users.
Go read the comments. Obvious bots are posting praise and many critical comments are being deleted by the moderators.
There is no rebuttal and ‘Richard’ ignores the most damning parts of the 404 article. His own screenshot has Andy telling employees to go on Reddit amd change the narrative!
We all get to read and interpret as we choose.
We do, but we are not always aware of whether/how we are being deliberately manipulated in any thread.
Completely agree. That’s why I’ve avoided expressing opinion on the overall situation.
Downvotes testify that neutrality is badly received, but I think everyone should take the information from proton and 404 plus their personal experiences and make their judgements based on that.
I plant to ignore the subject in future (and should have already done so here), it has proven to be ridiculous in the past due to the whole fan culture thing, and it has been none of my business since I walked away from my subscription a year, or 2 ago.
“personal experiences and judgments” definitively, but even in the very recent past (the google bollocks --> lake america) proton was being widely recommended as the replacement, and the masses were just gobbling it up without appearing to put any effort in. proton might lose fewer customers than they just gained.
