Delete Proton footer or loose customers
I have started using proton due to it being recommended as secure email, after registering it appears that you input your ad into every e-mail sent by making your footer compulsory.
To remove just that what haven't been disclosed before creating account I would have to pay 5$ per month, which is ridiculous when you have free e-mail providers everywhere.
Due to that I will have to switch to different provider as I don't enjoy being rolled like that into paying for something. Misleading people into creating accounts afterwards informing them that every person that wants to use free version of the mail have to advertise it everywhere is just another low.
Despite considering this service I will be looking for other, I will create the vote for maybe you will start seeing numbers going down you will know why.

Having that in the footer/signature is only on the free accounts and is pretty standard practice for any email service provider.
As a "free" account user, your complaint is invalid. Your account exists only by the graces of the paying users and business. Proton doesn't even have to offer a "free" account if they didn't want to, it merely a preview look to get the feel of it, not be everything.
Why people think they can demand things when they aren't even paying.
Beggars don't get to be choosers.
