Ente's accusations against Proton, is it their new marketing?

Oh man! I’ll never forget that VPN dirty marketing, don’t worry, it’s starting to bleed over into some of the newer VPNs as well.
To me, the attacks on other services in the privacy space feel like terrible marketing. Maybe they get attention for a day, but the blowback usually hits harder than whatever point they were trying to make.
People end up turning on the brand, dragging out every piece of dirty laundry they can find, and then the comments turn into flame wars full of bad info and tribal nonsense. I’ve seen this happen with Tuta, those newer VPNs I spoke of, Brave, Proton, Ente, the Helium dev keeps throwing stones from a flimsy glass house, and I’m sure many of us remember that one graphene dev. And then it just opens them up for attacks. It just doesn’t seem worth it, and it looks bad as you said.
I think those in charge of social media need to take a look at the words from the good book of Wu-Tang. Don’t start none, won’t be none.
