Skype used to be the only name in video calling.

It wasn't anything extraordinary that made skype lose market share - just a gradual slide into irrelevance as competing products got stronger, and they tried to make a profit when everyone else was giving away the product for free.

One of the reasons we stopped using Skype is how slow it became, specially on non high-end phones. On the other hand WhatsApp was always fast. It seems they never optimized for performance.
