Why is it trash for a business to write articles about how they’re beneficial to you and how to use them?

Because they’re using a free platform (Lemmy) to post an advertisement…

Without paying advertisement money? – That’s just the first one.

Second one is all advertisements posted in communities that are meant for organic discussion is jarring and serves to attempt to brand-brainwash anyone who runs across it?

Corporations need to stay out of sites like this and let people talk amongst themselves and make suggestions - basically by posting it here, they’re operating an SEO scheme and using everyone here as their pawn.

You’ve been inundated with this shit for so long, you’re now not only blind to it, but making excuses for its existence.

testeronious is Proton’s official Lemmy account?

No. The team have official handles and ourselves, Volunteer mods, as in reddit. But that user is just a user AFAIK.

Why would it matter if it was an official or unofficial account? This whole subforum is literally an advertisement. Look at the mod list. “ProtonPrivacy” right there…

And the title of the post is “5 skiff alternatives” where they go…“us, us, us, us again, and oh there’s this other guy”

they’re using a free platform to post and advertisement

corporations need to stay out of sites like this

So they didn’t actually post anything here and normal people are posting the article themselves, which is exactly what you said you think should happen.
