Are you American? Because I heard this kind of thing from Americans a lot, what's wrong with roman empire's final? That's not like that they lost some important war, they didn't fell in some infamous way, they just fell because it was it's time to, and if you count the Easter part it fell even further
to be fair brands often become synonymous with the product even if another brand is used in dutch we call a fotocamera a "kodak" because kodak was once the go to pampers are diapers, and so on and so forth, though I think your grandma simply does not know the difference between different tech though, like how older people call an xbox a playstation and so on
So, I work at a News Station, and we have a computer that is labeled absolutely everywhere as "The Skype Computer". Can you guess what we use the Skype Computer is for? Its used for hosting zoom meetings for interviews. And with that I feel like Brennan is on his way to take me out
It is pretty funny that Skype was THE name in video calls for like 15 years, but they were so complacent that they never added any features, and then a no-name company took their entire market share in one year because it actually supported a reasonable number of people on a call.
I have to *completely* disagree with you, it's not that they didn't add features, it's that they constantly added idiotic features while neglecting core functionality. I could ignore the fact that Skype went from being a slim and useful tool to being a bloated mess with xbox integration and a ton of other crap I never wanted to have to deal with, but the fact they ended up with like six different barely working versions by 2014 should have been a wakeup call. I spent two hours trying to help my mother set up skype on her idiotic windows 8 machine only to have it keep freaking out because of some microphone setting somewhere in Internet explorer, and having it fight me every step of the way when I tried to get the desktop version on to her computer. So no, the problem isn't that they didn't add features it's that they broke the basics of calling people, shoehorned in a bunch of crap that just got in the way and bloated the program, then they made their versions fight each other. Final straw was when they screwed over the mobile version to try to make a snapchat clone by removing the last useful feature of being able to see whether or not the three people on your contact list you still talk to were actually online or not.
From what I read, it looks like after Microsoft bought skype, they did try and add things but the actual code and framework was hanging on by a thread. They had an incredibly difficult time making any changes without completely crashing the entire thing. It's honestly really funny to imagine buying a company for 8.8 billion and then not even being able to change it.
I don't know Skype annoyed me for so many years, since it was always tied to a very very old user account at first (they wanted you to make a 'live' account, trying to compete with google plus, when the company launched, I always had trouble logging in. The desktop notifications were terrible, it constantly logged itself out unlike every other chat app that I've ever used which uses cookies or an app to keep you logged in, Skype credit was 10 times that of other VoIP providers although most people don't know that. I don't know exactly how they got embedded into Microsoft so much but it was always pre-installed on Windows and always started at the beginning and non-tech savvy people were always complaining to me about Skype. And the 'web helper' uses so much memory, back when most typical pc users only had 2-4 gigs of ram. They were the first ones to ban using a Google voice number and Skype credit to circumvent having to pay a cell phone company. You would think that they would want to monetize this huge opportunity but instead they killed that entire emerging marketplace back in 2008. Skype deserves it. No one deserves it more.
Voice call was already on the way out before covid hit, let alone VIDEO call. Imagine having to actually "talk" to people, or worse - look at them while they are talking. I dont think many people actually LEFT skype, like me, most just stopped bothering 7 years ago. Zoom came up at an opportune timing and the fact that you just needed to press 1 button and no account needed, that was the most important thing.
@@weeksweeks9552 I don't know. I had so many people complain to me about their windows computers and it was just Skype 50% of the time. They lost good will, and yeah, clearly didn't use the decade they had to innovate, just making it a harder and harder product to interact with. I can't imagine gen z using the Skype interface, it's like the 90s.
I think this is the first time the ceo in one of these videos isn’t tryna defend or fix a shitty decision made by his company but instead has just genuinely been screwed over and has no idea why
No, skype was an absolute piece of steaming, stagnant shit software/service. Slow, unstable, bad quality audio. Not to mention that one time where I wanted to get on a call and got a 30 second unskippable video ad with absolutely ear raping audio about some shit I couldn't care less about. Every time I used skype I asked myself "why isn't anyone making a better version of this? they would absolutely blow skype out of orbit"
GoFundMe becoming a backbone of the US healthcare system wasn’t exactly their fault either. And there was the Tide sequel about Trump telling people to consume bleach
@@mrkiky critically, once upon a time Skype was fucking amazing. It was free international video calling when that was still a revolutionary new idea. But they failed to keep up with the times, and bigger companies entered the market that could burn endless money on infrastructure. Also Skype failed to secure enterprise contracts. Zoom really succeeded because they vendor-locked tons of medium size businesses and were well positioned to reap the profits, Skype spent time chasing lay-consumer buy in.
I love how perfectly this captures that brand loyalty doesn't make any sense. Just because Skype was popular at some point doesn't mean it has to stay on top. You don't owe a company your patronage, and shouldn't keep supporting them if you no longer like what they have to offer.
@@LoveMyUnusual Because users (creators AND viewers) benefit from videos being hosted on a single platform. If a meeting host says "actually we're doing this one on Teams" it changes literally nothing except the interface. If an uploader decides to post on Vimeo, they leave their audience behind. It's not even the size mismatch, it's the inherent drawbacks of partitioning content. A lot like what's happened to streaming services, only way worse for small creators.
@@woodfur00 I agree. It's tougher to have a variety of video platforms when one is used the most. Not sure if creators here have tried out Vimeo, but there's a pretty good number on Twitch. This doesn't negate that YT has a lot of problems they don't care to fix.
By 'this,' do you mean 'what happened to skype?" or "Brennan sitting in a director's chair losing his mind." Cause I never stop thinking about the second one. I can't.
It's crazy that Skype really has been around forever and the very first thing everyone turns to when shit hits the fan is some random ass app that barely anyone knew about before hand

To be fair, that's not dependent on Skype as much as on your internet connection. It'll still happen in Zoom if the other party has 250 bytes/second connection.
My biggest problem with Skype, right before the pandemic they made it so you couldn't skype between private and professional accounts and started putting a bunch of stuff like shared screen behind paid for accounts. We were already switching to zoom and teams pre-pandemic because of how useless skype had become.
I mean at that point the Zoom call is almost always just acting as a fancy livestream, where one person is just streaming their screen to a bunch of other people
I had a school assembly with more than 900 people on Zoom, and I can't tell you how many links in the chat would that would Rick Roll you, or send you to real sketchy websites. There was no inbetween.
I was in a 500 people zoom call for university. The damned lecturer make us ALL turn our camera on and mic on and literally everyone start lagging and shit
This was hilarious. But, we stopped using Skype a long time ago, when Microsoft bought them, forced all accounts to be transferred to microsoft accounts, started showing ads in the chat rooms and fubar'd the audio codecs so it sounded like we were on walkie-talkies. But we don't use zoom, we use discord :P
I stopped after they dropped support for their original Linux native client. The new Linux client is just a thin wrapper around the Skype Web interface and it sucks.
I gotta hand it to Microsoft, it's a really impressive feat to bring a company from a household verb status to almost nothing, while somehow still being profitable.

Skype is, and always has been, completely worthless. It has *never* worked properly. Riddled with bugs, glitches, random problems. It was an all-round piece of shit software
Because Skype sucks big sweaty balls. Zoom works on awful connections, as the only service to so. Internet connection disrupted? Reconnect directly afterwards, you don't have to even click a button for that.
I am starting to realize why I like your channel so much Sarah, because apparently your RUclips habits are the same as mine! XD Seriously I see so many of your comments on what I watch.
I absolutely hate Zoom. The interface is clunky and feels like a 90s AOL videocall. Im assuming that AOL had videoconferencing software and that it was as clunky as humanly possible like all the rest of their software
to be honest, skype lost its popularity long before the pandemic. so when the need for conference calls rise with the pandemic people weren't looking to go back. zoom was used by google and worked with its apps so it was easy for many companies to use it. and so it rose in popularity and since everyone was using zoom it became the go to.
Maybe if you had a Nintendo console. I only used Skype for talking to RL friends and business. Teamspeak ruled PC gaming. And Xbox and PS never needed any outside app.
In case anyone was wondering what actually happened to make Skype decline: Skype went to shit when they started forcing ads into the service in the early/mid 2010s. The ads never unloaded and instead just kept stacking the data, causing massive bloating and crashing computers when it became too much to handle. People had to consciously close and restart Skype every so often just to keep their computers running, and if they put their computer into sleep mode without closing Skype and it decided to wake up an update, it was crashing and interrupting the update, preventing the work that needed to be done the next day as the update went "happening now, eat shit." It was irredeemably fucked up and drove people away to other services that weren't causing their computers to overheat from obtrusive unwanted ads that didn't used to be there. If I remember right, this happened when Microsoft bought Skype. So yes, Microsoft killed Skype, full stop.
I stopped using Skype because some random person I Skyped with because of a video game got their account hacked and would then spam add me to thousands of group chats every day, and Skype had no way to prevent that.
@@ryanhealy9026 My cousin was/is a WFH worker long before the pandemic, and she was using Zoom at her business for their video conference calls because Zoom could support 20 callers. Skype, FB Messenger, Facetime etc couldn't.
I love when he screams "I will have my revenge" the mic peaks and they have to completely tune down the volume to prevent Brennan from decimating the audience's eardrums

The funniest part is that I stopped using Skype LONG after everyone else did. By the time I switched to other platforms, the Skype application was so infuriatingly, irreversibly broken, that I *literally had no other choice but to use something else.*
@@el6700 a conference does no have 1,000 people in it. Only higher ups in a company go to a conference. If you have 1,000 people it's a gathering/event.
I mentioned Skype to a younger coworker, and he responded with "Wtf is Skype?" So i said, "It was like Zoom before Zoom." And it made me think back to this video.
The way Brennan can create a mental breakdown and existential crisis for a character and make them feel so genuine and in the moment is just *chefs kiss*
Like I know I didn't just leave Skype at the finish line, I left it for Discord at one of the water stops, roughly back when Skype group chats had no permission required auto invites, and I could control which Discord server I joined.
I have been in a webex call with about 40 people. at any point there were people having side convos off mute, peoples babies or dogs, and people eating. The host mutes everyone, and they unmute themselves right back. Too many people are self centered assholes, incompetent, or just unaware to have large online meetings
For people who pretty much grew up using skype and later discord, you can probably have a call with 50+ people without going insane. Downsides? 50 people = 1 guy talks, everyone else shuts up, there's no point in speaking since 50 people with their own opinions is just ridiculous, not to mention 100 or 1000. For boomers and weird people? God damn, they're just as bad as we were as kids on skype. 10 people is literally the limit of sanity for anything longer than 15 minutes. Dummies who can't figure out how to mute their mic? Dummies with 3$ mics? Dummies with pets, kids, people, lawn mowers, vacuum cleaners or dishes being done in the background that are at least as loud as themselves? When all those 3 and more things come into play at once, you'd rather listen to someone scraping their nails on a chalkboard for 3 hours.
Zoom was chosen by a bunch of old or middle-aged people on some board somewhere, not realizing what a hot mess of security issues it was, and then it spread from there.
I just realized that, until this moment, I had completely forgotten about Skype. All during the pandemic as Zoom was everywhere, at no point did I wonder "Why don't they just use Skype?" I better stop now. Brennan's probably coming for me.
This series raises an important philosophical question for me, personally: why am I so attracted to the adorable, wholesome Brennan's rapid descent into rage and madness?
Thanatos. It's the opposite impulse of Eros. It's the implicit desire for chaos and destruction that lies in the heart of every human being to some extent. Your soul cries out for madness and deconstruction as a counterbalance to mankind's natural inclination to build. It's the same reason we find explosions in movies so exciting and fun. Just don't think about how all this is an incredibly dark aspect of human psychology, and you'll be fine.

That will put a stitch in my side
I think that it's very likely they will do one for that company, considering the current PR clustertruck.
It would more or less just be the Tumblr one, right?
They made a Tik Tok and just reused the Tumblr one
Brilliant!

@@rizanrianah154 i'd like to set up a zoom
No but seriously, how did Skype drop the ball on a time where everyone has needed video calls
i guess people were using it begrudgingly as it was the only option
it was so laggy and irritating on the windows desktop
its fall was inevitable
Microsoft will always fail us
because it's not actually that good, the market had just stagnated to the point where people settled for it
Skype is, and always has been, completely worthless. It has *never* worked properly. Riddled with bugs, glitches, random problems. It was an all-round piece of shit software
Because Skype sucks big sweaty balls. Zoom works on awful connections, as the only service to so. Internet connection disrupted? Reconnect directly afterwards, you don't have to even click a button for that.
This is honestly so good content. Feels like CH's good old days, refreshing, inappropiate and absurdibly funny

@@terrybatman shhh
Yeah I had zoom interviews
I absolutely hate Zoom. The interface is clunky and feels like a 90s AOL videocall. Im assuming that AOL had videoconferencing software and that it was as clunky as humanly possible like all the rest of their software
to be honest, skype lost its popularity long before the pandemic. so when the need for conference calls rise with the pandemic people weren't looking to go back. zoom was used by google and worked with its apps so it was easy for many companies to use it. and so it rose in popularity and since everyone was using zoom it became the go to.
I mean forget Zoom. I can't believe you didn't mention how Discord is the one that killed Skype.
True

@@patrickmilkwood But Skype is what every gamer used to use for group calls and group chats before Discord
@@patrickmilkwood oh man, i remember those previous apps. We had Mumble, the hipster app
Maybe if you had a Nintendo console. I only used Skype for talking to RL friends and business. Teamspeak ruled PC gaming. And Xbox and PS never needed any outside app.
Skype is great but does it accidentally turn lawyers into kittens during an important video conference with a judge? No it doesn’t.

@@celestialsalamander oh my god I hate you ❤️
I love this series never stop making them. They’re all golden.
In case anyone was wondering what actually happened to make Skype decline:
Skype went to shit when they started forcing ads into the service in the early/mid 2010s. The ads never unloaded and instead just kept stacking the data, causing massive bloating and crashing computers when it became too much to handle. People had to consciously close and restart Skype every so often just to keep their computers running, and if they put their computer into sleep mode without closing Skype and it decided to wake up an update, it was crashing and interrupting the update, preventing the work that needed to be done the next day as the update went "happening now, eat shit." It was irredeemably fucked up and drove people away to other services that weren't causing their computers to overheat from obtrusive unwanted ads that didn't used to be there.
If I remember right, this happened when Microsoft bought Skype. So yes, Microsoft killed Skype, full stop.
Yes and people were already using facetime, whatsapp and messenger for video call
I stopped using Skype because some random person I Skyped with because of a video game got their account hacked and would then spam add me to thousands of group chats every day, and Skype had no way to prevent that.
They also haven't made any real improvements to the program in like fifteen years
Zoom has also positioned itself as the video messaging tool for a lot of schools and businesses. That’s only reason I knew what Zoom was.
@@ryanhealy9026 My cousin was/is a WFH worker long before the pandemic, and she was using Zoom at her business for their video conference calls because Zoom could support 20 callers. Skype, FB Messenger, Facetime etc couldn't.
I'm convinced that none of this is scripted and it's just Brennan improvising.
Yeah like they told him "tomorrow. this company." "let's go bishes"
Honestly knowing Brennan it’s entirely possible that’s exactly what happened.
Brendan's my favorite cast member, I barely watch anything recent if he's not in it
Oh 100% there’s like at lease 10 minutes of extra footage from each CEO vids of Brennon just losing his mind
oh yeah 100% that bottle bit? totally made up no way that ain't something Brennan thought on the move
I would’ve loved an “A message from the Omegle CEO” when the series was still going on. It could’ve gotten really weird and concerning
I love when he screams "I will have my revenge" the mic peaks and they have to completely tune down the volume to prevent Brennan from decimating the audience's eardrums
I think it was a reference to Skype's shitty audio quality.
That makes it significantly funnier
This is funny just starting the video because it begins so calm
It still decimated my eardrums; I was wearing headphones :(
It was on the lowest volume, too
The absolute boiling venom he puts in those insults shook me harder than a pair of maracas during an earthquake
I swear, Brennan needs to be cast in a big budget movie someday.
His acting skills should not go unnoticed by the world.
Give him a guest spot on “it’s always sunny”!
CH has 14 million subscribers, I'm not sure he's all that unnoticed
@@michaelqdlap videos barely crack 600k on a good day
I'm not sure if Brennan is doing this on purpose or not, but the twitching eye really helps sell the fact that this character is absolutely losing his shit 😂
Brennan said “Landon Bablandananavan” without flinching, and for that he has my respect.
TWICE!
And said it correctly the second time as well, without being inconsistent with the first time.

The funniest part is that I stopped using Skype LONG after everyone else did. By the time I switched to other platforms, the Skype application was so infuriatingly, irreversibly broken, that I *literally had no other choice but to use something else.*
To be fair, Discord dug the hole for Skype, Zoom just pushed Skype in.
Discord stole the internet savvy and younger people, and zoom grabbed everyone else
@@withincode6848 I only use zoom because school forces us lmao
I feel like it was much more face time and duo. Discord is great for audio, but it's not that great for video imo.

The way Brennan can create a mental breakdown and existential crisis for a character and make them feel so genuine and in the moment is just *chefs kiss*
The most ironic thing about how I discovered this video was it was sent on a Discord Server
Like I know I didn't just leave Skype at the finish line, I left it for Discord at one of the water stops, roughly back when Skype group chats had no permission required auto invites, and I could control which Discord server I joined.

Idk, it’s not that hard to say.

For me, this is still one of the best comedy bits I've ever seen. The idea alone is brilliant but the acting performance is what makes it perfect.
He's actually right about the thousand callers part, after being in a call with 30 people i wanted to blow my brains out it was so incomprehensible.
I have been in a webex call with about 40 people. at any point there were people having side convos off mute, peoples babies or dogs, and people eating.
The host mutes everyone, and they unmute themselves right back. Too many people are self centered assholes, incompetent, or just unaware to have large online meetings
Discord has worse. Idk how tf some people even have relationships over these 1000 person servers.
For people who pretty much grew up using skype and later discord, you can probably have a call with 50+ people without going insane. Downsides? 50 people = 1 guy talks, everyone else shuts up, there's no point in speaking since 50 people with their own opinions is just ridiculous, not to mention 100 or 1000.
For boomers and weird people? God damn, they're just as bad as we were as kids on skype. 10 people is literally the limit of sanity for anything longer than 15 minutes.
Dummies who can't figure out how to mute their mic? Dummies with 3$ mics? Dummies with pets, kids, people, lawn mowers, vacuum cleaners or dishes being done in the background that are at least as loud as themselves?
When all those 3 and more things come into play at once, you'd rather listen to someone scraping their nails on a chalkboard for 3 hours.
Well it’s mostly for a bunch of people wanting to listen to one or two people lecture or give a speech, or a singer that I like did a Q&A over zoom
Still remains the only option for university classes though. And we're talking about up to 100 people minimum for a class.
Everyone only started using Zoom because everyone else started to.
We didn't really have a choice
Everyone else paradox
Zoom was chosen by a bunch of old or middle-aged people on some board somewhere, not realizing what a hot mess of security issues it was, and then it spread from there.
In my workplace we prefer to use google meet / hangout. It's always good to have web based service instead install bunch of applications.
no, you're wrong, people used zoom because schools forced us too.
DISCORD is what everyone started to then hopped the bandwagon.
Anything with Brennan in it is pure gold. He nails everything he does.

This series raises an important philosophical question for me, personally: why am I so attracted to the adorable, wholesome Brennan's rapid descent into rage and madness?
I know. I don't even use Zoom *or* Skype very often, and I feel personally attacked.
Oh wait, you said "attracted", not "attacked".
Sometimes a broken man is just *chefs kiss*
Thanatos. It's the opposite impulse of Eros. It's the implicit desire for chaos and destruction that lies in the heart of every human being to some extent. Your soul cries out for madness and deconstruction as a counterbalance to mankind's natural inclination to build. It's the same reason we find explosions in movies so exciting and fun.
Just don't think about how all this is an incredibly dark aspect of human psychology, and you'll be fine.
