I've seen doubt of it's push to pack products into it's offering ala Google - however I don't see that as enough to call it not good.

It's also very easy (and suspicious imo) for anyone to call a service not good without any reason to back it up.

I see that as offering services that people clearly use and value, and that the bills have to be paid somehow. So as long as proton can deliver the privacy and security features it promises, I personally don’t see anything wrong with providing an alternative when the only other options are built on monetizing your data.
