I also really wonder why there are waves after waves of people trying to delist Proton’s services and bad mouth them the whole time.
I’m happy someone else has brought this up.
If I hadn’t been seeing what look like identical talking points dropping in real time, I’d probably just tell myself I was overthinking it. I’ve been trying to connect the dots on this myself, and while I haven’t tracked down a definitive ground zero, other than some chatter in a few Discords and a Telegram, it feels like we might be looking at a coordinated anti proton push.
To me, it comes across as being driven by a specific source (even if I can’t confirm who is behind it, what their goal is, or why, or if it’s just your garden variety astroturfing), and from there, it just seems to snowball organically.
I can’t speak for this forum and say that it’s happening here. Whenever I see the massive volume of replies in some of these Proton threads here, my brain tunes out with, ‘I ain’t reading all that. Congrats, or sorry that happened to you.’ But looking around elsewhere, it definitely appears that way to me.
Since I’ve been on leave from work for the past three weeks, with one left to go, and I’ve finished RE9, I’ve had the time to be terminally online watching it unfold everywhere else.
