        You can turn off all of those emails. At least I can, but I pay for it. There’s like 3-5 toggles in settings to select what communications I would like to receive from Proton.

      Oh absolutely, it’s just an ad for Proton products. That doesn’t make the point about degoogling any less relevant.

      What are the alternatives though? Self-hosting an email server is practically impossible because spam detection will block you on every turn.
