You do realize we are in 2022 now right?

Clubhouse sucks. Internet radio was created in the 90s, little late to the game

😂 I love this scene

Didn't Amazon launch some equivalent of that pretty recently? Wonder how that's doing.

Sounds more like a promo project

Not well, problem is as people start going back to work or doing outdoor activities the demand for this only shrinks further and monetization option are limited as well

Clubhouse? LOL. Absolutely dead idea. Which creator would ever want to have broadcasts where the reach is limited to only the hundred or so of people who could join in time?

Meh. It was a fad. Just like crypto.

As soon as they eliminated exclusivity the end was near unfortunately

Y’all saying that now but if I look at your comment history you were probably begging for an invite back in 2021 lol.

Amazon wawY45 Jun 6, 2022

LOL, nope! It was just as useless in 2021! There's no real networking effect there. No replay. They probably got higher audience with replays on YouTube. That's NOT how you capture the eyeballs!

Twitter spaces I found some stuff I liked. Relatively unknown academics who happened to be experts on Ukraine got some good audiences. Most of it is just ego fluffing and circle jerking from "founders" and "web3 entrepreneurs" and other morons. Clubhouse especially appealed to these types.

I mostly saw celebrity fandoms using it to fight each other

Twitter Spaces stole their thunder.
