"textContent": "trilobyte:\n\n> I was going to try to respond at length, but I’ll try to avoid derailing the thread more, sorry.\n\nThat’s fine. I don’t object to discussing the message of the infographics. I just want to invite people to share the ones they find compelling here. I don’t deny that there are benefits to putting all your eggs in one privacy suite, whether it’s Proton’s or any other trustworthy privacy company.\n\nI’m simply saying there are also drawbacks and you gotta weigh the pros and cons and do what’s best for you. I don’t have an issue with anyone putting all their eggs in the Proton basket. I just think all users should have the choice to pick and choose.\n\ntrilobyte:\n\n> But I do want to say that with proton it’s purely an issue of billing, rather than a lock in.\n\nI’ve heard people say that before, I was still skeptical then, but even more so now, since Proton introduced add-on subscriptions for new products like Lumo and Proton Meet. Proton’s doesn’t want to include those services in Proton Unlimited without raising its price. That is proof that there is nothing preventing them from allowing people to just pay for Proton Mail Plus, and Proton Pass Plus under the same account. But they continue to refuse.\n\ntrilobyte:\n\n> You don’t have to use every service just because it’s available, […]\n\nThere is a difference between being subscribed to Proton Unlimited and only using Proton Mail and Proton Pass, versus only wanting to pay for Proton Mail Plus and Proton Pass Plus, with the same account, which is not possible. In the first, you’re paying for something you’re not using. In the second, you can’t pay for just the services you want.\n\ntrilobyte:\n\n> […] while they in no way try to prevent you from migrating to another service. […] I recently migrated my passwords to bitwarden to make use of duck aliasing. If proton truly wanted to me locked in, they would not have provided a password export function to facilitate exactly this action.\n\nAllowing users to easily migrate from one password manager to another has always been a common practice by the companies behind them. If Proton didn’t allow that, they would receive a lot of criticism. But just because they have good practices that are in the interest of the customer, doesn’t mean they don’t have bad practices that are against them. Two things can be true at the same time.\n\ntrilobyte:\n\n> I would post an infographic, but I don’t have any, so I’ll try to avoid posting more here. I wish you luck with those and appreciate the civility in disagreement.\n\nNo worries. You don’t need to go search for them. I’m sure you will stumble upon some eventually, and you can share them there when you do.",
