Yeah, it's really weird seeing these blanket statements from the CEO of Zoom, of all things.

I've grown up with ICQ, IRC and forums, later worked with a very distributed, international volunteer team and made connections just fine, even though we barely used voice chat (it was still the Skype days) and nobody ever actually saw me or knew my real name.

Those people and connections weren't somehow less real to me than the superficial, safety-first chit-chat you sometimes get into at work. This obviously isn't everybody's experience, but maybe, just maybe, the CEO should "get" this instead of being out of touch with what he's selling.

Maybe he was left on read one time too many.
