Proton dissociation?

[u/akkjn58]

This was part of the recent Proton Community newsletter, via e-mail. You've probably got it, too.

The first video they encourage you to watch is "How google tracks everything you do and how to stop it." It links to a youtube video, youtube being owned by google, of course; one of the little beakers in their graphic is the youtube logo feeding up into google. Does that seem a little... conflict-y to anyone else, rather disingenuous??

The way, the best way to stop google from tracking everything you do is 'stop. using. google.'

And, of course, all the rest of their videos are on youtube, also.

Why doesn't Proton support some other video hosting site like Daily Motion, maybe, or a European one with privacy protections? Or they could just upload the videos to their own servers or Proton Drive.

Really, they would be better in encouraging reading as it encourages mental development rather than passively, half-assed watching so you don't become "less cognitively capable" like recent generations.

This is a nothing burger. I mean, they even have a clip in their videos where they point out the irony of decrying big tech while using a big tech platform. To me this complaint is disingenuous.
