So that is your alternative... Not sure what your threat model was.

My threat model is an un-educated population of people who don't value privacy or care about surveillance. I'll put up with shitty tools in the mean time but can only support those who are building a better future.

I would switch to Gmail and donate my $50/year to EFF.

How does using Gmail help to address the threat of people who don't value privacy? It seems to be joining them.

Thought I was pretty clear here. My $$ going to EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) is meant to get me more bang for my buck than using Protonmail.
