Yeah, I think auto-modded comments can not be found like manually deleted comments unfortunately.

If we take the screenshot comment as reference, the parent comment is now three days old, which likely applies to PetersonProton’s comment now aswell.

\_

**Now that I have read these comments, especially in the context of the third comment I quoted above, one thing seems pretty obvious now:**

### **PetersonProton did not lie, therefore neither did Proton.**

### **Windscribe and Redditors, as well as PG users are misunderstanding what was said or are blindly parroting the falsely spun narrative.**

**PetersonProton did not deny it was A/B testing (even claims they said it _was_).**

**They said it was not adaptive pricing.**

**It is said it was fully randomized A/B testing, which reports even in this very thread confirm.**

**A/B testing ≠ Adaptive Pricing**

**Random A/B testing is also totally fine. Adaptive pricing is what sucks** (e.g. travel sites have done this for years). And **this is what Proton denies, and what reports back up**.

### **This whole thing is based on a false claim. And Windscribe might have played a leading role in this, unintentional or not.**
