I use it for just about everything. In fact if I could limit my google search answers to just quora, stackoverflow and reddit I would be satisfied.
Similar to Quora -- the hype was based on the initial exclusivity/SV celebrity factor. Once things opened up, average quality of content went way down.

Additionally, the high-value people on the platform are themselves often there because of the other high-value people. If most of the rooms you go to speak in are just filled with a thousand fans, maybe you'd be better off using that tile to talk to your half a million followers on Twitter or Instagram. The experience of a small private club simply doesn't scale.
I thought it was interesting to think about what Clubhouse was displacing. It felt the most analogous to radio. So, what could you do if you had radio at internet scale? Or what would it take to make internet scale radio successful? In my mind, it came down to how challenging it would be to produce and monetize content. It's non trivial work. Producing a good radio show that's worth listening to takes a lot of time a…
My hypothesis is that a lot of the early hype was down to people who liked the idea of being part of an exclusive club but didn't really like when everyone else was also part of the club. Then twitter launched "Spaces", meaning people could have a similar experience to clubhouse without building yet another social network.
Does anybody remember the app Yo?
The reason Clubhouse didn't have staying power is that there its value proposition is hypocritical, and therefore doesn't work: On Clubhouse, it only matters who's talking (for example, Elon). It doesn't matter who's listening. The more important the speaker is, the more it is a one-to-many broadcasting platform, and the less it matters if it's live. That makes it as useful as podcasts, which is already a saturated s…
Even if I take your first statement to be true, I'm not sure the rest of the comment follows. If we look over at video content livestreaming is popular (and increasingly so). Why have companies like Twitch been successful enough to be bought by Amazon rather than losing to YouTube or similar? Is there something special about audio that video doesn't have?

I thought clubhouse was a social media site now it's apparently: > Project management has never been easier > We bring the flow to your software team's workflow. Plan, collaborate, build, and measure success with Shortcut.
It's two different companies, which I guess was part of the motivation for clubhouse.io to change name to shortcut, since clubhouse.com became massively popular in a very short time
As soon as I started it, it was fixed to an iPhone window.
This was about a year ago. No apps should ever do that. It means the app is crap quality.
I nuked it, and forgot about it.
