Skype sucks. - GoFuckYourself.com

XMaster · 03-09-2016, 08:13 AM

I don't understand how this fu** shit won the messengers war. It simply sucks balls.

horrible user interface
daily spams of "horny girls" (ie greedy crooks)
ads ridiculously big
...
Oh, and yes, shitty video streaming quality most of the time.

Rochard · 03-09-2016, 08:15 AM

I never have a problem with Skype.... I get maybe one BS friend request a month, video chat is great. I don't even notice the ads really.

Really? I knew I was unlucky!

_Richard_ · 03-09-2016, 08:33 AM

because all those things weren't issues when Microsoft didn't own it?

shake · 03-09-2016, 08:33 AM

Ads on Skype? Must be a Windows feature.

you aren't the only one, I'm not a big fan of it either... it works more or less fine, but there is nothing remarkable about it at all...

The thing I hate about Skype right now is that the message don't always appeared as read, and when someone calls, the ringing sounds never stops, I have to disconnect

The ringing is probably in your ears from the last Oktoberfest warmup event. Give it another six months and it will pass.

Evil Chris · 03-09-2016, 08:41 AM

The daily spam connections are a pain for sure.
Otherwise I don't mind Skype. Instant screen sharing is handy.

Also, I like how it works across all my devices.

Time to create a SEXIPE of Skype as they did Paxum of Paypal. I mean, wtf no alternative really.

I'm using a windows client and I haven't seen an ad on skype. What I do see, on the home screen, is a picture an Asian woman and right below it a link to "How to make free voice and video calls".

Within conversations, there's no ads or self promoting links that I can see.

I get perhaps one spam request a month but that's to be expected. I use to get 3-5 per day on MSN and 10 a day on icq.

No issue with the user interface here. It's simple and to the point. The very few times I've used video it has been hot or miss. Sometimes fantastic and sometimes choppy. I rarely use video though so it hasn't really bothered me.

J. Falcon · 03-09-2016, 09:24 AM

I don't get a lot of spam requests, maybe one every two months. My beef lately has been with not being notified of new messages. This has been a growing nuisance for the last 2 or 3 months.

Yep, windows client. At least is Windows 7 and not the horrible 8

If you deposit any amount of money for skype calls the ads will be turned off.. I know hat bcoz I have 2 accounts.. On account where I have funds I see no ads but when I login on other account ads are shown...

30SalesPlus · 03-09-2016, 12:20 PM

What is the better option? ICQ, Aol, Yahoo? It's the best option out there.

Same story.

I have one paid, one not. My paid user has no ads.

Sednub997 · 03-09-2016, 12:42 PM

Sure skype sucks together with icq

iSpyCams · 03-09-2016, 01:27 PM

I think it's gone downhill a bit since MS took it over but it wasn't more than a couple years ago everybody here was on ICQ, so overall it's a big improvement.

I find most problems are when some dumbass is trying to pretend like he's at work when really he's out fucking around on a mobile device with intermittent connectivity and a million other apps running. Desktop to desktop it's great, for mobile I use Viber, beats almost everything else, even sms on a lot of carriers.

Ross · 03-09-2016, 01:47 PM

You have been around since 2003, the ICQ glory days and you are bitching about Skype? Wow... I remember the daily messages on ICQ with "A/S/L" or other stupid shit. I like Skype, I have a hack so I don't get ads, as you said they are annoying as hell, I don't normally use ad block or anything but for Skype I do. I love how I can easily transition from one device to the next and never lose a conversation or what was discussed on different devices.

j3rkules · 03-09-2016, 03:06 PM

Yes, it has flaws, but still prefer it over icq.

seeandsee · 03-10-2016, 01:35 AM

Paul Markham · 03-10-2016, 01:39 AM

Black All Through · 03-10-2016, 03:22 AM

Paid version has no spam no ads

ownedbox · 03-10-2016, 04:32 AM

maybe because of its search function that made it won. and linux users still use this up to now even when its no owned by MS. it doesn't have much spam back then

skype correction can mess the conversation up, but again, that's because of the upgrade.

Windows 7, skype's last version, not the recent, works a treat & has high retention on video when I'm on live cam
