Using their product is becoming unavoidable. Who are they? Who are they selling their data too?

If you see something like companyname.zoom.us, that means they have a company plan. The calls have no time limits.

Businesses actually pay for software licenses and support. This is how Microsoft made billions.

Tax parasites. Every government office uses it.

It's why everyone says zoom" instead of some other name.

My kids use zoom for music lessons. We pay for that, how much if any gets paid to zoom from that fee is anybodys guess.

we went back to in-person for piano lessons. the zoom lessons just didn't give the full learning experience. I could see maybe guitar or a wind instrument working for zoom, but the piano just didn't work for us.

we never paid for zoom. our teacher had a venmo account and we paid that, but no payment ever went to zoom.

They sell monthly services to businesses holding larger meetings, or to provide premium services.

That is because you live in a hole.

Actually, needing zoom suggests that you, not me, live in a hole.
