Proton's mission, funding sources, independence, and community are some of the reasons we're more resilient than other privacy-first companies.

when they offered the visionary plan again last year I jumped on it

I learned my lesson from Plex about lifetime subscriptions...

That isn't a life time subscription. It's a better version of the family plan. If you read the article/blog post you would have seen that they only offer lifetime plans for charity.
