      Hated one has a patreon with access to the videos.

      But heres a summary-

      • proton offered $70 per signup to Proton VPN
      • hated one has never accepted sponsorships to remain unbiased but had considered this one because it was a service already recommended by him. But he still had reservations and he talks through his reasoning for why he doesn’t do sponsorships.
      • during initial emails he had asked if they’d be willing to do an interview instead, similar to how other companies have done (like tuta). This was considered by proton while offer was on the table.
      • hated one asked to share communications with his community to help weigh reactions. Proton agreed and he made a patreon post asking for feedback.
      • ultimately hated one declined the sponsorships offer. Proton has since ghosted him, and will not answer emails about whether or not they are still interested in an interview. He acknowledges he isn’t owed anyone’s time but thinks companies need to be willing to stop treating creators as commodities and instead talk to the communities they are soliciting.
      • hated one again reiterates his long held opinion that proton is good and he does recommend it, but he never recommends putting all your eggs in one basket. He recommends using protonmail + tuta vpn or tutamail + protonvpn as an example.

          Good call out. And now i think i just pulled that out of my ass. He switches from the not all eggs in one basket to something else

          Edit: ah it was earlier in video. Starting around 2:11 he recommends protonmail and “another vpn”, or tuta with proton vpn. So still out of my ass but not completely
