MODERATORS
You say that as if companies haven't been imposing greedflation/shitflation on everyone for many years.
Voting with your wallet isn't an effective means by which to motivate a company to do anything. You're just a drop in the bucket, so your distaste for a company will never influence their behavior. You know what does? Shareholders.
Thankfully, Proton is moving away from that harmful influence by becoming a non-profit, so that will be less of an issue for them and they can focus on delivering services that users actually want instead of shoveling in anti-features and forcing arbitrary price-hikes on their customers like most for-profit companies do.
