I keep hearing bad stuff about proton, but I don’t really get most of it. Could someone please explain all of the controversy to me. Lastly, what are the best alternatives to all of their services?

      Were they free accounts? They are pretty strict with free accounts. They’re not some google that can just provide a free service to everyone and not care about the cost. You can get a paid account that shouldn’t be deleted for extremely cheap like 2-3$ a month I think, and then you get multiple email aliases and stuff too. I get not wanting to pay for email, but if it’s free you’ve just got to accept you are probably the product.
