Just over the last few years it went virtual reality, blockchain and crypto crap, and now chatbots.

What will the next fad be? I’d like to know so I can convince one of these VC ghouls that they should give me money for vaporware.

      I’ve always been bummed that video chat has been practical for years and years, and the only people i ever video chat with are doctors. : (

        Why be on video when for the majority of people and conversations, just voice is 100% as good and you don’t have to be seen? People hate being perceived, that’s why people hate work zoom calls so specifically. “This could have been a phone call or email.”

        Anecdotally, I think there’s a neurotypical-neurodivergent divide on video calls, but it’s definitely understudied.

        Video chat is pretty much my entire social life now due to COVID. Met the vast majority of my current friends over Zoom. I know you said earlier you’re still masking - if you don’t know where to find video chat social events for covid-conscious people I can get you some links.
