Why so much people still using Skype

[1win Partners]

A lot of people at work use it

Why? If there are many analogues ....

Skype is great in so many ways

 

[TheGreyMatter]

It's like Paypal, it's not the best but because the majority of other people use it, you just stick to it and it gets the job done.

Exactly. And its not like there are many other good messaging clients for PC.

Can you clarify, what ways?)

I like the Skype's call connecting and disconnecting sound on headphone.

The UX is friendly, the sound when you have a call is lovely, for skype group calls it's also very good.

And skyprivate pays well if you are a girl

Hmmm...

But yeah you are right that it is slowly becoming a dinosaur, people use whatsapp telegram and messenger a lot more..

Maybe it's my emotional attachment

Are they? I don't know anyone that still using it. It is not safe at all, everyone can get your IP address. I'm avoiding everything that is Microsoft related.

Yeah, me too. That's why skype is superior to other alternatives

 

[xReminisce]

So you are old? Skype no longer shows your IP... like since 2011-2012 or so when Microsoft bought them.

Not particularly MS related. Nevertheless, I switched to an Android based phone from iPhone.
A friend of mine made a comment how Google is tracking just after showing me something for sale on FB marketplace from his iPhone.

Privacy is dead. At best you can obfuscate some of the data they have access to.

Yeah, before Skype was P2P which has it benefits (was possible to send large files etc), but revealed your IP nowadays everything is via microsoft servers - it has it benefits - they store all your files.. but also cons - they store all your files (max file size 300mb).
