Yes, all the time. But then I realise they are making good products and trying to change the world and that isn't free.
Proton makes a freemium product, which means the paid users need to subsidise the free users. For every 10 (or however many) free users join, a paid user needs to join as well to keep making it work.
Proton has sales all the time. They are hoping that with all the shit in the news about Apple, Google, and Microslop, you will eventually pay Proton because you realise Proton isn't one of the bad guys.
If the ratio of free to paid users keeps going up, they have to do something and no one wants them to shut down. They also don't want to raise the prices for premium users. So what's left? Encourage the free users some more.
Even paying customers get pop up ads
Never have I ever seen an ad on any proton product.
Paying user.
I'm a paid customer, never seen an ad.
I'm a paid plan, ads all the time. It sucks.
I pay and have never seen an ad ever. Only the occasional promo email
I might have had one (1) popup on my vpn once IIRC. Paid subscription.
Make sure to sign into the account. I realized once one of the apps hadn't been signed into so it thought free tier
Agree
