Not disagreeing but I think we have to remember that 99% of consumers are not HN tech gurus and really don’t care. They only care about the quality of the product/experience, and clearly Zoom has topped the market on those (similar to slack for enterprise chat).
- windexh8er 7y agoConsumers, in my opinion, have a much more vested interest in privacy and security today. If we look at Apple [0][1] - they've invested significantly in wrapping their brand around it. To say that "99% of consumers are not HN tech gurus and really don't care" seems, to me, an unfounded perspective. Again, in my opinion - but factually we have a lot of evidence to support the contrary.
