Do people still remember Bird? Same thing happening to Clubhouse. These startups were massively hyped up by VCs, but can’t stand the test of time. I suspect a Web3 startup will be the next thing VCs will hype up.

#12The blind community is still there, maybe not as strong as it was, but we still use it a lot. I guess the audio-only nature of it, in the age of picture-based apps like Instagram, really made a difference.

#15Clubhouse renamed to shortcut, but is otherwise still cruising. clubhouse.io now redirects to shortcut.com. Otherwise still runnin' fine.

#16It became Shortcut: https://shortcut.com/
Re: Ask HN: What happened to Clubhouse?
#17Nothing happened to it. It still exists, and still has users. The buzz it had a while ago has died down, and several competitors have emerged (like Twitter Spaces). I imagine it still has a boat load of VC money in the bank, so whether it can figure out a successful business model or not remains to be seen.

#18Earlier quoted context omitted.
Isn't that Twitter spaces? Never heard of Clubhouse.
Twitter Spaces was a direct response to Clubhouse becoming extremely hyped up during the first year of Covid.
Interesting, I didn't know.
I've only ever seen Twitter Spaces not Clubhouse, that's why I asked.

#19You mean that iPhone advertisement? Pandemic ⤵ Clubhouse ⤵ NFT ⤵ I call it the #Clubhouse Correlation.
That makes the most sense.

That's a terrible name change lol. Might as well have been "social" or "desktop".
