What the hivemind gives, the hivemind takes away, before hiveminding to the next pile of poo, and not learning a single thing.
Time will tell if this is just a hiccup, or more of an issue for proton though, a lot of their customers will be oblivious, apathetic, or defensive. There are so many consumers in the market these days, that what once would have been a death knell, is now just an annoyance. Proton can always just sack some staff and replace them with more ai anyway.
Proton fans downvoting is a long term thing, on multiple platforms. Go team proton yay!!
