Proton Unlimited Not Unlimited
I have been paying for Proton Unlimited for many years. In the beginning, it was presented as the way to benefit from all Proton features. For some time now, every new feature tells me how I can pay extra for a 'plus' version of something. And I continually see prompts to 'upgrade' to the Duo plan to receive more features, even though I only need a plan for one person. I don't understand why Proton would do this to people who have been supporting them financially for so many years. Now I see Lumo appear. I open the feature through my paid, Proton Unlimited plan, and I am told I will need to upgrade to use all of the features. So, please, someone from Proton staff, tell me in what way is my plan Unlimited if every new feature prompts me to pay more to get the full benefit? I still don't even see Scribe being offered to those who pay for Unlimited plans. I never thought I would see the day where we would be wondering if Proton would succumb to the ensh*itification trend. I was proud to support privacy, rather than stick with a free plan. Now, it feels like every new change is an opportunity to pull more money from us. Please enlighten us. Thanks!

That’s what Proton Visionary is for. It was or still is available if go on the Web Page for Proton Wallet and click on the 3 Lines in the Upper left corner. It costs 39,99$/€/CHF per month or 29,99$/€/CHF per month if you pay yearly. This is the only Proton subscription right now that offers the highest Limits of all existing Features and the ones coming in the Future.

Here we go again. I open Lumo and it tells me I need to pay $10 to $13 per month for the premium version, even though I have been paying thousands of dollars to Proton! I pay for a Proton UNLIMITED for years. Let's call it the Increasingly Limited Proton Plan. The Ensh*tification of Proton is in full speed. Was Proton sold to a for-profit corporation. This is not what we were told when Proton - that they would look for every opportunity to squeeze more money out of every individual.
