Yeah, I've always been surprised at how negative HN can get about Proton. They're not perfect, but man at least they're trying to fight the privacy fight.

I've always had a very good experience with them. It's cheap, fast and their spam filter works well. Maybe 1x-2x a year I get an email from them about some promotion but that's it.

I always wondered if it’s just a few actually upset customers mixed with a ton of astroturfing by competitors pretending to be outraged proton customers.
