It's a bold move to say the product your company sells is total crap, but not unheard of.

There’s a level of honesty in Ratner’s response that I doubt most tech execs are capable of.
It would be like if McDonalds acknowledged that cheeseburgers are not a complete diet. It’s true and we all know it but that doesn’t reduce their value. Video calls are still going to be required for cross company and cross city communication because it’s better than nothing.
What was said =/= "Zoom is total crap"
