It's not for you, this is why it sucks. Standup could be better but it's not designed with concern for all participants, or at least it takes effort and empathy to run one this way. If doing it well was easy developers would all be tripping over their dicks to give standup updates.
tl;dr: stick not as effective as carrot, but stick is cheaper / easier / simpler so stick is the only option
