Maybe you're being downvoted because many of us knew about Zoom for at least a year prior, and individual obliviousness is not interesting.

That and the conspiratorial tone, probably.

> Hmmm...guess CCP got to keep Zoom alive.

Fair enough but I only added that as an edit after my post was downvoted within seconds. In addition, Zoom was a niche company prior to the pandemic. I’d compare it to something like Nuance.

What video conferencing product was not niche prior? I guess WebEx, but "everyone" hates them. (Personally, what I had encountered at work pre-covid had been WebEx and Zoom, outside work a bunch of the free WebRTC-based ones which all didn't work all that great)
