It's not the exact same thing, but I've definitely been drawn out of what I'm watching because of compression artifacts.

The price of a cup of coffee yeah maybe, but with how many paid online services there are, how many cups of coffee a day y'all think I'm having?

They should of course keep that in mind, but it's not that "should" should always be followed by a verb directly. The problem is that "of" in this context is a mishearing/spelling of "have", so they should in this case have written it like that instead.

That's the main reason I didn't even consider them. "Proton(mail)" just sounds more professional when used in actually important contexts and is easier for people to get right.

In general, I've noticed that a lot of privacy focused software, particularly FOSS, are really bad at choosing names which make people want to use them. They tend to have names which might appeal to some crypto-nerds, but which make them sound just weird or questionable or niche to the average user. Like (the precursor to) Signal the messaging app used to be called TextSecure. There's no way I would've gotten my parents and siblings to use something called TextSecure. The name just sounds so geeky and niche.
