i doubt many even know what discord is
aol isn't a thing anymore.
It's *new.*
skype is still used by public sector jobs
Skype is bad now.
>my anecdotes mean it's a joke
I notice no one is defending skype's quality.
Just that people use it.
Skype has been bad for years. Hasn't stopped it
That's true
Doesn't make MS a joke. It's a successful product
we dont need to defend its quality to make the point that people still use it
The goalpost!! It's sprinting away!!
Get back here you!!
aol quit its free model though, tried to make a pay service that no one bought into
--Err.
Are you sure you know what you're talking about..?
Free model? lol
aol was always shit but people used it lol
It was never free. s:
Are you getting it confused with another service?
What? What goalpost?
It was a free model since about 2006 i think? when they gave up on dialup subscriptions
Oh if it was that late in the game.
Maybe. I hadn't kept current.
I asked how it's a joke, and said the purpose of a company is to make money
lol what
That was 12 years ago.
Not current?
To which you replied "lol my friends use discord", which isn't a good quality metric
Discord is also shit, for the record
I'm not putting it up for a vote.
For many of the same reasons Skype is
People left Skype for Discord. Not up for a vote. Democracy doesn't decide this. This isn't a controversy
"People"
That's not a number
Every update made Skype worse. If you were unfortunate enough to click the updates, it was another nail in your foot.
Again, I'm not putting it up for a vote: Skype got worse and worse and worse. Discord improved constantly.
well i have a cousin who knows a racoon that was caught one time by a person who moved from discord to carrier pidgeon, ergo that is best
Skype still has broad usage, especially in the business world. It is still a successful product
