The top dog usually gets the most scrutiny. And so they should. I’d be more worried if that wasn’t the case.

I think our internet behavior and metrics makes certain topics trendy for outlets. Most news outlets metric the crap out of their stories (journalists performance is often judged at least partially by clicks) and if pieces on Zoom get lots of clicks, they’re gonna keep writing them.

I think this is the most likely reason with their explosion in usage due to COVID. Anecdotally, around 25-30% of news articles shared in my company Slack channels recently have been about Zoom. We saw the exact same phenomenon during the 2016 election.

There's also press and Zoom is a hot topic. You don't have to care about Zoom itself to write something that's technically true and brings ad views / money.
