Just one day after 404’s piece on Proton CEO Andy Yen’s AI psychosis, and much public sneering of the matter… those pending ‘re-interviews’ on staff’s submission to slop apparently won’t be happening. But Yen is still an all-in slopbro, so.

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

Right? The interviews were the least of the new problems. I know I'm not going back unless he's completely out and even then.. Once I'm done migrating it'll be hard to make me come back.

The longer they take to actually do something, the more users they permanently lose.

I wish I had something to cancel with them

support mail, "hi I was considering using your service but on learning about your CEO's shitty views have decided to take my money elsewhere"

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
