I never felt like anything I read before signing up for Proton was misleading, even after reading all the public hyperventilation about their security. These people would never be satisfied until those explainer docs were so messy with technicalities that they became useless.
People who don't have the capacity to understand what Proton wrote are just LARPing anyway. They wouldn't have the ability to make calculated decisions based on a threat model in the first place.
It feels pretty sketch to me to repeatedly see Proton named in these great unmaskings of a big fat nothing. All of the "secure" email providers are equal to or less than Proton and that remains true. So why so much Proton hate by name without a single other provider mentioned?
