"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."

Wow, CEO calling their own product shit. Cool.

He's not even raising good points.

Jesus Christ the idiot hasn't even identified the actual problem with his product. Namely being that everyone talks over each with no dynamic volume scaling.

People have made better products by themselves in an afternoon.

Well, maybe they should take a page from the open source book and use text as a medium more often.

If you want collaboration, use a chat room software with sub threads, like Slack. If you want announcements, email works, or a common chat room. If you want to present something, use a video meeting.

So it sounds like the CEO doesn't know how remote work actually should work. Which means they need to do more of it so they can effectively market their product.
