Zoom's issues are fixable... unlike a hardware defect like the macbook pro keyboard and the iphone antenna that didn't work well... Zoom is clearly better than the alternatives and has my 80 year old uncle talking about it. This too shall pass.


I uninstalled zoom and refused to use it after they did that skanky "start up a local webserver to avoid Safari's user-safety questions". Then everyone was using Zoom, so I gave them another chance and installed the native client. Turns out the native client install also contains skanky hacks to avoid user-safety questions. So I uninstalled it again, and now my company has told us all not to use the native app.

Once may have been an honest mistake. Twice (and now more) is definitely a culture problem that's not going to be fixed without massive turnover.


If the issue are innocent technical screw ups, they have deep deficiencies in their dev org that are not easy to fix and could take years.

If the issues are ethical or political, they aren't ever going to get fixed.


I don’t understand why people are so eager to trust this company with sensitive business information. They’re totally untrustworthy after what they’ve done. It doesn’t matter what they pretend they’re fixing. Their word is worthless. What is it with you people blindly believing whatever garbage comes out of these companies?


Gotta somehow bash Apple!
