I'm on a few different tech-oriented email lists. The ProtonMail users are all weird. Extraordinarly argumentative and paranoid. Ask questions and then riducule the answers, almost always on the basis of far-fetched "security" concerns. Rarely contribute substantively, mostly seem to be there to virtue-signal their security awareness at every opportunity. They are tedious.

ProtonMail is arguably the biggest privacy brand, especially when it comes to well... email. They do a bit of marketing as well which people who aren't so technical are going to be picked up by. It's the same situation as with VPNs being advertised on YouTube. Both of these kinds of products are used by paranoid people who don't have an understanding of what they're protecting themselves from.
