I disagree about Zoom. They managed to get big by being better than Skype and Teams. And that was who they needed to compete with.

- SoftTalker 4y agoAbsolutely. Zoom is the first video conference software I have used where the first 15 minutes of the meeting is not spent on impromptu tech support to get everyone connected, seeing, and hearing everyone else. And I'm exaggerating only slightly.
- toyg 4y agoThey did that by breaking user privacy and security on an unprecedented level. That's why I said they are Just Bad - their practices are terrible. But they were good at selling (i.e. deflecting when challenged on their bad behaviour), and that worked. They are "better" than alternatives in the same way Oracle is "better" than other database vendors.
