I understand that and perhaps it justifies the valuation but it blows my mind that in 2019 there isn’t an open source solution that works just as well (or better - again, Zoom is buggy) and is easy to deploy and control yoursef.

I know the same could be said for many public companies but that doesn’t change my feeling that they many of them are overvalued and overrated.

I think this is a good blog post describing the scale of the problem: https://danluu.com/sounds-easy/
