Why would anyone use this over Proton Mail or the gazillion alternatives if it treats people like shit.

Yep, getting about time to move the rest of my email over to proton...

I'm doing that now. Have had the free account sitting around for a while now. Decided to upgrade to the $5 version of mail before really starting to use it. They STILL endlessly blast you with that self-promotion. Full-page ads, at that. I'm immediately having regrets about my decision to switch. I'll be primarily using Thunderbird on desktop, and on Mobile if/when they get around to the k-9 to Thunderbird switch, so I don't get their self promo there. But the behavior in general doesn't bode well.
