Hey @protonmail, we know you guys use affiliate marketing and that it can be hard to keep an eye on what each of the partners is doing, but are you aware of this article: cybernews.com/secure-email-pro… ?

in reply to Tuta • • •Can you make this right, please?
Especially since on your /partners page, you have an FAQ section that says "As part of our effort to be transparent with our users, we require our partners to disclose their relationship to Proton to their readers."

in reply to Tuta • • •You also say "We encourage all partners to be objective and accurate in their reviews." - Requiring your partners to agree to a code of conduct would be even better. 😉
We hope we can continue to fight for #privacy together and keep up healthy & fair competition!

in reply to Proton Mail • • •Thanks for the response. But this article contradicts your requirement of partners "to disclose their relationship to Proton to their readers" and to be "objective" and "accurate", doesn't it?

in reply to Tuta • • •I agree. That is why i use Tutanota only. No affiates, no bull$hit, no sky high prices.
I've used Protonmail for couple of years, before the new pricing. And i can say that it doesnt deserve all the glory it receives.
For me, the best thing i use Tutanota for is ability to add or remove my paid features. And to customise my plan how i need it to be. With Protonmail you get everything you might need or nothing.
Tuta, youre the best!
