I think it is easily believable that it was a single sponsorship and Vincent used the word partnership without even thinking about it, and I also find it easily believable that the sponsorship is something that slipped through the cracks rather than having any meaning, and I find the response from Proton to be acceptable. I just don’t think it is as big a deal as you’re wanting it to be ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I think it is easily believable that it was a single sponsorship and [a man who makes a living on being a political pundit] used the word partnership without even thinking about it
So suddenly the narrative went from Vincent lying, to Vincent making a whoopsie. Odd how fast this stance softened.
I literally know nothing about Vincent other than that he’s a bad dude. I just find the scenario as it has been laid out believable. If it becomes a pattern then I’ll join you with my pitchfork.
I’m confused about what you believe right now. Do you think Vincent is a liar like you said first? Or do you think he made a little oopsie like you said second?
Both cannot be true at the same time.
I think it’s weird that you think Proton should just accept defamation from a political extremist, but I guess we just have different moral standards.
But if you were being truthful when you say that you would change your mind if you saw a pattern, here you go.
I don’t give a fuck what Vincent said. You’re latching onto something that is completely pointless and I’m not going to engage you on.
Assuming your link is about the shit Andy Yen said before, then I agree it is problematic, but I don’t think there is a through line to proton sponsoring Vincent. I’d bet it’s completely unrelated.
Yeah that’s why LurkingLuddite said “it’s not a partnership. It’s a normal sponsor segment. Leave it to a right winger to lie about their affiliations.”
Vincent and his audience might disagree…
You Really Think Someone Would Do That? Just Go On the Internet and Tell Lies?
I find it all to be very strange.
Proton pays Vincent money for a sponsorship.
According to you, Vincent defames Proton.
Proton doesn’t seem all that worried about the defamation.

Strange of you to say that, because if you don’t care, you wouldn’t have made two separate statements about it.
Feyd, why are you changing your narrative by simply the possibility of seeing something?
Edit: Let’s see if you have the same dishonesty problems as Vincent does. https://vger.to/lemmy.ml/comment/26101269

Feyd, I think you protest too much.
