It's more a branding change than the end of an era. Microsoft trashed Skype but the new version of the application destined for enterprises is a success. The name Teams is not ideal for personal use but they do with what they have.

I had zero advertisements in Skype in the whole 20 years. And only probably just one scammer total. Skype is ideal for personal communications unlike for example regular emails interrupted whole day and night with myriads of other users, spammers and scammers. The only bad thing of Skype was inability to change the font. But that's important for modern picky user with many flashy apps around. Similar minor inconvenience killed Anandtech by the way ( no Edit function to edit your posts)
