Before smartphones existed, a dozen friends and I would sit on webcam for hours, mostly in silence, just doing our things. Studying, surfing the web, whatever. It was a website called tinychat.com . It was a decade before zoom calls. We would carry our laptops around the campus wifi, chilling in the private webcam room, 4x4 grid of feeds, push to talk. Some would leave it on 24/7. It was kind of like this concept, except not $140/hour, and no coach. Most of us were very ADHD. The coffee shop vibe did help us focus on our work.
