It's also the only provider that I know of that keeps your emails as ransom if you don't continue payment once you're on an upgraded account, instead of downgrading it for you at the billing cycle.

Good thing I only used my PM email to test things out, paid for an upgrade because I liked their public image, only to come back a year later and have no access to anything unless I pay up.

Absolutely not acceptable. There are other, more gentle ways to convince your customers to stay.

It's typically swiss (i'm swiss) it is not even meant evil but out of sheer ignorance and stupidity we make decisions like that.

Recent examples:

-Switzerland wants to make a Free Trade Contract whith Indonesia, now Swissmem makes some Advertisement on YT with the starting sentence "Indonesia is not just Bali and Palmoil..." First that's kind of ignorant as if Switzerland is just Chocolate and Matterhorn. Second..PALMOIL..that's not something to brag about.

-We had a initiative, which in theory came thru, but was stopped (different theme). It was about Corporate responsibility (Swiss Corps are not allowed to break Swiss Laws even when they are not operating in Switzerland), and now imagine who made that Advertisement on YT against that initiative? F*cking NESTLE!!!

It's like: Hy i'm your dear friend Assad and i am against regulations concerning ABC-Weapons.

BTW: Hey Nestle and Swissmem, if you need someone who filters your BS for the modern age before it goes online, write me an Email (it's my username at protonmail...no pun intended)
