In the grand scheme of things, Proton does not even do enough for me to clock this as a problem. I pretty extensively use all of Proton’s services as a Visionary subscriber, and even as I do so, Proton represents only a very small fraction of what I use on the computer.
To me, it’s simply very easy to be highly diversified while also using Proton’s services, and I think most Proton users find themselves in a similar situation.
That’s not clickbait.
Just like how he loudly proclaims he’s very unique and special for not accepting sponsors many times throughout the video and in his comments section.
I find it pretty challenging to take YouTubers seriously these days when we do what they do + we do written work + we self-host everything from the ground up in addition to meeting people where they are on big tech platforms + we foster this community for other members to do the same. Unfortunately, “content creator” types have been far less willing to work with us compared to serious organizations like Tor or EFF, so to me that speaks volumes about how serious YouTubers are about advancing privacy vs. their own brand.
1,000%, yes.
