Larger meetings where the wall of videos is wonky, mics have to be muted and unmuted, and the number of people with video on causes the connections to get choppy.
If you only use it to do video (optional) calls with a handful of people and share screens it is passable. I kind of like it for that, just a phone replacement with optional video and screen sharing.
Anything beyond that though, bleah.

While the whole idea of limiting to only things that agree with ones view can result in a bubble, avoiding misinformation and propaganda is fine.
Unless that opinion is about the misinformation and propaganda. But a little goes a long way.
I want to party with Dan!

Oh boy, I really miss some of those accounts with comedy bits and I just assume they stopped posting when I left reddit so that I don’t have the urge to go back and double check.

Yeah, a lot of sitcoms were basically throwing one liners at each other to get an audience reaction.
IT Crowd’s first few episodes that I watched would have worked a lot better without audience laughter in my opinion.
After a couple decades of watching movies and shows without laugh tracks I tried to watch Blackadder and the IT Crowd and the audience laughter killed my enjoyment. They were funny, but not funny enough to get past the audience getting in the way of the humor.
Comedians doing standup are including laughter based on their audience enjoying their comedy. Even shows that were filmed in front of a studio audience with prompts to laugh are likely to get some genuine laughs.
Sitcoms that use canned laughter are trying to force the audience to think they are funny, even when they aren’t.
It’s a win-win situation!
