Slack sold because they are not the future, the future of work is video. the pandemic showed that zoom, hangouts, team is much valuable than chat. Those all have chat as well, might not be as good as Slack but if any org had to keep one, it would not be Slack.

I very strongly disagree. Even in a physical workplace, quick text messaging has a place. Saying that the video services are more valuable than chat is comparing apples to oranges. And I don't know of a mainstream video conferencing service with text messaging as good as Slack. (Maybe Teams? I was strongly encouraged to used it over the previous option that worked fine, and have intentionally avoided it since out of protest.)
