Are people more boring on Zoom than they are in person?

Are we more boring? Are our associates? That’s been my impression, at least in virtual groups.
In some people, Zoom seems to bring out a repressed desire to perform, as if they were on television. They talk longer, ramble more, and seem to relish the attention more than when participating in a conventional meeting, whether in a corporate conference room or a church basement.
Meanwhile, people who don’t like the limelight seem to like it even less when on camera and are more apt to speak self-consciously, without their usual fluency.
What’s your observation?
