how I only ever heard about Zoom through podcast ads before the beginning of the year, and it's become a genericized trademark for any video chat by now

A decade ago it would've been Skype. How badly did Microsoft fuck that up?

    Idk, I remember being confused why we weren't using skype when all this was beginning. To be fair I haven't used skype in like 5-6 years but still it made the most sense

      Yeah it's a bit disorienting seeing "let's Zoom" overtaking "let's Skype" so quickly and suddenly in the common lexicon
