I’m not talking about corporate or school memberships, but from the general public.

If enough people use Zoom, the Zoom company will be bought by a large multinational technology company like Facebook or Google. The people who invested in Zoom and keep it going now will get paid in cash or stock by this larger company.
Few, if any of these new tech companies, are actually able to support themselves without having large amounts of money pushed in by investors.
In a year or two, the large company will forget why it bought Zoom or what made Zoom worth using and they will slowly let it degrade until it becomes unusable (see Skype, etc).
Meanwhile the people who invested in Zoom now will have invested in something else, like Teleconferencing for pets. They will probably call it something cute and short like “Barkk”. Another large technology company will get FOMO and buy that off the investors.
This is the circle. The circle of Life.
