After their shameless Synology shilling a couple of weeks ago, today Techlore is trying to sell me Proton Pass.
Is Proton Pass a bad password manager? I don’t know. It seems okay, but I have no opinion.
What I do know is that Techlore is affiliated with Proton, which makes their newest 10-minute video - in which they reveal the affiliation only at the last minute - 10 minutes of my life I’ll never get back.
Unfortunately, In the business they’re in, the merest hint of a bias kind of invalidates any advice they give. As the saying goes, when you point out other people’s body odor, you’d better make sure you took a shower yourself.
Unsubscribe…
I think it would be reasonable to have some medium sized text in the corner at the beginning of the video describing what kind of relationship Techlore has with its partners. Something like: “We received money from Corp to make this video about their product. We had full control about what statements we made”
Agreed, that is a good compromise IMO. I know people will still disagree and say “the statements they made with full control are biased” but whatever, can’t please everyone. I think those types of people don’t want any corporation to be involved in anything in the whole world and they have extremely unrealistic expectations of people and how one should live.
