Ahoy, me hearties! Gather 'round as I unveil a tale of woe from the digital seas! Microsoft, that scallywag of the tech world, be throwin' the ol' Skype overboard come May 2025, aye! The callin' service that once ruled the waves hath seen a mighty decline since the year of our plague, 2020, with users jumpin' ship faster than a fish outta water!

But alas, it fell victim to the tides of change, bein' outshone by Microsoft Teams—an upstart that be reignin' supreme with hundreds of millions of users castin' aside the old ways! 'Tis a sad sight to see a once proud vessel sinkin' into the depths of obscurity.

Despite bein' bought for a treasure trove of $8.5 billion, Skype’s glory days are long gone, replaced by fancier ships like Zoom and WhatsApp. With a mere 36 million users clingin' to its barnacles, ‘tis no surprise that the good ship Skype be settin' sail for its final voyage. So, hoist the sails and prepare to abandon ship, for Teams be the new pride of the fleet, and Skype be but a ghost of the past! Yarrr!
