Zoom, the videoconferencing platform that profited substantially from remote work during the pandemic, is now asking employees to return to the office. Its CEO, Eric Yuan, claims Zoom meetings don’t let people build trust or be innovative.

Yuan explained that trust is essential “for everything,” and he finds it hard to build not only that but also innovation and debates over Zoom.
“Quite often, you come up with great ideas, but when we are all on Zoom, it’s really hard,” Yuan said, according to Insider. “We cannot have a great conversation. We cannot debate each other well because everyone tends to be very friendly when you join a Zoom call.”
Translation: “I want to be a dick to people face to face, so they can’t just turn the camera off and flip a bird towards the screen”.
They can also be recorded, so if you really mess up, there is evidence.
Anyone who says you can’t debate over the Internet has never actually used the internet. Of the 10% that isn’t porn half of it is debates.
I think you spelled “shit slinging contests where both sides already have their minds made up” wrong
But who’s poo smells better?
Eh, I think the majority of it that isn’t porn is just scams of every variety imaginable. So I think it’s just the 1% that isn’t porn or scams (or both) is debates. But I get your point.
