Proton has a smaller storage limit and I refuse to pay for any monthly subscriptions.
Must be nice to own your house and live off grid, but I can imagine that it's annoying to have to visit the library to use the internet.
Some things, such as water, internet, electricity, and even Email have constant costs. Sometimes subscriptions are dumb, yeah, but I very much like having electricity and stuff without having to generate my own.
Then self host your own email. If you are not the customer, you are the product, and that applies to digital infrastructure. No credible VPS or domain registrar will let you have amazing service for free without hidden costs either.
that's a whole lot easier said then done, especially with gmail's dominance and strict filtering, and of other even obscure providers. mailbox.org then or something like that
