Holy cow the blatant SEO on that page. Trying to get all the versus searches that users might try while also stuffing all the other email providers names in as many times as possible.

Yeah I felt kinda hoodwinked. I read their blog post and felt quite outraged. Google stepping on the little guy, “they provided no explanation” etc.

Then I scroll to the bottom of the thread on hacker news, saw this comment, and “oh, that’s why”. They didn’t even take down the SEO spam before complaining about being caught.

I really don’t think I could trust any “privacy focused” email provider that relies on such deceptive tactics to promote their business.
