Well-put, I agree. This is basically why I cancelled my subscription yesterday, though regretfully I was in a hurry and didn't write it up in the comment field.
Another way of thinking about it is that it's really all these little bits together that make the situation seem so bleak. That level of aggressiveness regarding AI, the thing about not having enough velocity, the fact that it seems like a workplace where people are afraid to speak up--all that paints a picture that is basically the opposite of what I want out of the service. The whole brand, as I understood it, was that Proton was focused on security and privacy. I don't think the workplace described in that article really matches up to that brand.
Glad I hadn't really migrated mail to Proton yet, so now I can figure something else out. What's wild is a week ago I was actually thinking about expanding my subscription to their other products too.
