Damn, I came here to post this, I just got the email now. I laughed as soon as I saw it, it's so obviously damage control. The whole email is "Oooh, look at us, we're truly good, nothing of note has happened lately other than us being good and doing good things!"
It’s kinda nice to see how many new people proton has reached though, people that clearly only been using it for a few months. Their marketing clearly works and helps get people off google and Microsoft.
And I don’t think they hurt the non-profit foundation as much as they think by closing their free accounts that are subsidised by us paying users.
