I still trust it to not sell my data to the highest bidder for marketing purposes and such.

The NSA and other state agents may or may not be capable of reading my emails, but I don't think they would care about anything I write/receive and for sure won't sell/publish it because of the risk of the world knowing about their possibilities. It's still opposed to my interest in privacy, but the main thing I care about is my life not being an open book on the internet for everyone to see (or even just marketers), and ProtonMail sells that to me as a business model, which I still believe in.

yes, you're right. I chose them in the first place because they made me realize that there is no such thing as "free email", and I was glad to pay for mine to avoid ads and private data exploitation
