Why would anyone use this over Proton Mail or the gazillion alternatives if it treats people like shit.

    Wait until you see Yahoo mail.

    Edit: Before you say nobody uses Yahoo mail, it’s probably the 2nd most used after gmail at my school, afaik, I haven’t met another person using protonmail.

      I have Yahoo mail. And it’s just occasionally 1 ad email that’s clearly labeled ad, not greyed out, and maybe a banner. I’ve had nothing too intrusive once it switched. But it gave me a monthly option. Idk, as much as I hate ads, it’s not that bad.

        I don’t recall how many ads yahoomail has, but, it’s in a spot that when you first open your inbox, it could be mistaken for an actual email.

      I’ve seen way too many Yahoo and Hotmail emails this year. I’ll send someone a message asking for their email (for business) and they come back with either of those two…

      That’s the problem! If you’re ready to adopt protonmail, but no one in your social group is, what to do with an empty inbox?

        What are you talking about? ProtonMail is still a regular fully functional email provider. Nobody else has to use ProtonMail for you to receive the same emails you would on gmail.
