I guess their new free plan changes means they force you into linking your account with Google, make you spam done on a million websites as they try to make you change the email associated with them and to use their mobile app.

If you don’t do these things you lose your free data allowance!
And as a paid user it’s even more annoying shit to deal with when visiting your inbox!

The best part? Doesn’t even allow you to dismiss it.

Why does Proton keep making the UX worse and they are getting more aggressive.

    I’m seeing it too, on a paid account. I opened a ticket with support and their response was that they’re looking into it.

    It pisses me off to see crap like this. I pay to avoid ads and I’ve become hypersensitive to them. I know the hard core apologists will say it’s not an ad, but in my book it is.

    I know how to use the service and I don’t give a fuck about how they think I should be using it.

        If only there were a way to pilot changes through a tier of users willing to act as testers.

      It’s definitely an ad. Just because it happens to be from the same company doesn’t make it not an ad.

      It’s an ad. Same with the offers to save for whatever the latest sale is. I’m already paying. Ya got me. Leave me alone.

      Admitting you’re hypersensitive is the first step to fixing your hypersensitivity.
      Good work. Tomorrow you can take another step.

        If they keep this shit up, plenty of people will be taking the step to turning them into a historical footnote. Expecting the service you’ve paid for, without interruption, is not a difficult ask.

        Except apparently for Proton, it is.
