formerly it was an excellent and very speedy AIM or Skype-like platform with good text and voice capabilities. you could load up a private group chat with your school friends or your fellow hobbyists and have something usable for school/work/fun with absolute control over your environment and good (and free; previous installments of the same-such, such as Ventrilo, required paid server hosting) VoIP capabilities

now it's a bloated mess of useless features and clunky code

there's nothing special about it and it was fairly similar to both the programs that came before it and the usability-first programs that will come after it

used to be lightweight and easily accessible like 10 years ago

became popular thanks to that. it was barebones and Just Worked which is why Normal People used it

now its a bloated mess packed full of trannies and it sucks & is slow, but Everyone Is Already There, so its hard to switch off it. Its just been coopted by trannies, so it is strange to see "Normal" people referencing this Tranny Application for school work or talking to their parents on, but you have to understand they came after the fact.

feature creep isn't the problem. if they weren't trying to monetize it so hard it would still be best-in-class, but that ad/quest popup is a war crime.

Venture capital threw infinite monopoly money at it and crowded everyone else out of competing against it

Now they have a monopoly on the product/service they provide and they can let it become as shitty and trannied out as possible and it doesn't even matter there's no competition
