@Tutanota hmmm
>We protect your emails from everyone - even from us! Forever free.
"free is not free! except for our free. you can trust us. pinky swear."
y'all know how strongly this smells of bullshit, right?
@wigglytuffitout Yes, we should call it freemium - that would fit better. ;)
@Tutanota oh boy i can't wait to pay for microtransactions to access my email
idk y'all, if you ain't forthcoming about actually reconciling your business model with the business model that you are heavily critiquing and lambasting as corrupt and inherently exploitative, well... boy, that sounds shady as fuck.
right now it just comes off as "tired of being exploited by big companies?! well here, we do things differently - you get exploited by a SMALL company instead! HOORAY!"
@Tutanota given that your entire business model is built on trust - trusting the company to not snoop, to not sell info, to really encrypt as much as promised - this coyness is not really serving y'all. if you want to actually succeed, tell us why your company is different, not just "we're different! trust us!" and no elaboration.
unless you're hella into self-sabotage i guess. in which case, there's probably easier ways to get that kink itch scratched, lol.

@Tutanota "and if you aren't a programmer you just gotta trust us! we still ain't gonna answer how the lights stay on lol"
yeah let me just get a computer science degree real quick so i can continue to completely be ok with your pinkie swear that the rest of the details are all above-board and you're totes m'goats doing exactly what you say you're doing. that sounds totally reasonable. i'm so glad that's literally the only response to concerns. very trustworthy lol
