This article claims that PGP is dead. Is it really though? I checked EFAIL mitigation page, and nowhere does it support their claims about the tech being dead? And if it is so insecure as claimed by the article, then why is it still being used to sign Git commits or encrypt emails even today? Why did Skiff conveniently ignore the part to inform the reader that the standard was being updated?
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.

Skiff Team wrote the article to promote Skiff products, referred to PGP as dead, and repeatedly implied it was insecure:
Of course, in order to use their encryption, you must buy into their platform, and so must everyone else… The end-to-end encryption only works when both ends are on their servers. (This is true for every other “E2EE email” provider.)
