I have a paid tier. I like it. Beats the shit outta the big G.
I pay for it b/c running privacy focused services is not free. I want a world where we have choices besides Big Surveilence Tech. I could get by with the free tier. I pay anyway.
If you send to other proton addresses, or to other co's with compatible encryption, it can make email E2EE. Otherwise, it's not, like if the other end is on a gmail address or w/e.
It doesn't 100% solve the probs. But it doesn't do G style spying of your email contents. That's worth supporting to me.
