We didn’t just shame them, we hit them in the wallet. When I canceled my account, the cancel interface showed typical signs of being overwhelmed with the traffic it was experiencing.

Keep cancelling your renewals for anything proton. It’s absolutely a metric they are closely monitoring. The sooner you do, the stronger the signal it sends that the CEO is the problem

The interviews are still happening, they’ve just been delayed as public damage control, it’s in the article.

Worthless maneouver at this point, the mask is off already. The guy has exposed his extreme toxicity, nobody (employees or customers) will trust him again. Which is embarrassing. When you’re the CEO of the upstart, you have to have as spotless of an image as possible. He clearly isn’t cut out for the job. Not that it matters anymore, Proton may very well be toast at this point.

The only way for them to even start redeeming themselves to to get rid of Yen, and walk back this tokenmaxxing bullshit. The only thing that would really prevent me from migrating to greener pastures is if they stop collaborating with the Zionist Swiss University that support Israels military.

Meanwhile, over on reddit, Proton has launched a bot-assisted astroturfing campaign to refute the spreading narrative. It takes the form of a missive from a “staff engineer” who’s shocked and angry at how much his dear CEO has been clipped out of context. In the first 10 minutes after the post went live, it had dozens of comments from posters saying things like, “Wow! Thank you for the truth!” Five hours later the post’s upvote counter is over 3k. Totally fake PR damage control.
