Why the fuck does Proton have a Substack?
probably for the same reason anyone has a substack
For spreading Nazi ideas?
Because it’s too hard to set up a blog? No, they have one already.
Because they want to monetise their articles? No, they don’t do that.
I don’t see a reason for Proton to have a Substack publication.
to reach the people with your message, you must go where they are.
this is marketing for people who are not already subscribed to their services or otherwise know about them.
because they signed up for one. this is a shock for a lot of people, it seems, but not everyone is going to behave the exact way you think they should.
