Well I'm Gen X and I hate X so I'm not sure that argument holds water

    Everybody hates Zoom, so that argument doesn't count.

    I always took it as just taking boomer and starting with z. ironically xoomer could sorta be pronounced the same the way we use x. millenioomer is to cumbersome.

    Well, I haven't been a big fan of this millennium, but here I am.

    I had to use it in lockdown and I dislike using it on my phone. If I remember, it was clunky to use and also kick people out the video-call if reached around 30-60mins if they're on a Free-tier.

    I hate Zoom with a firey passion and I'm glad you didn't had to witness it

    Only a zoomer would hate something they have never used.

    This is correct.

    It came into popularity beginning in 2018. Wikipedia.

    How/why do you hate a piece of software you've never used? How do you form a reasoned opinion on it without trying it?

    This thing is a proprietary software, contains trackers, surely has something to do with ai etc etc

    Then it's not so much that you hate Zoom, but that you're consciously trying to avoid proprietary software. That's a good stance, and a good principle, but it's not hate for a specific piece of software specifically.

    I realize you were just making a quip, but it struck me as so incongruous that I had to ask.
