Cancelled my Proton subscription.
I won't subscribe to them again unless they add Monero as a payment method. I like their apps, except for Proton Drive (never could get photo backup to work on iOS). But all their other apps have a nice UI and work for me.
The reason for cancelling my Proton Business subscription is their lack of support for privacy-preserving payment methods like Monero. A company that claims to care about user privacy, yet only supports on-chain Bitcoin as a payment method, is not a very privacy-focused company after all. Back to using MullvadVPN/IVPN and maybe Tuta Mail in the future? For now, I'll use Apple Mail by paying for iCloud with Apple gift cards bought with Monero.
