I'm sorry if this is a bit insensitive, but if we're talking about a sound conversation based platform, isn't it a bit absurd for deaf communities to be upset?
No, it's not absurd to complain about stuff being moved to places you can't participate in.

#82I 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…
We've had Internet radio for almost 2 decades; it's called "podcasts". It's literally eaten "real" radio; NPR probably has more podcasts than broadcasts now.

What kind of useful answers can be found on Quora these days?
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.
site:quora.com OR site:stackoverflow.com search query
results in mostly one or the other winning on Google. However, they are the only ones who show up in the results.Re: Ask HN: What happened to Clubhouse?

It's the same situation with everything being a video now. I do better with diagrams and text, but now I have to sit through someone jabbering for 9 minutes for 1 minute of content to please the algorithm. And as someone who wants to make how-tos, getting any traffic to text these days is nearly impossible.

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
Heh yeah apparently there's more than one Clubhouse. I've never heard of any other besides the Jira competitor, and the OP just said "Clubhouse," not "Clubhouse social media" or anything like that. But I've been downvoted into oblivion, so I guess people think I'm trolling or something
Silly that you're getting downvoted - especially when no one is posting any reasons for their downvote

#88It has died, they just don’t know it yet. The network has now been poached to death by the typical influencer expert user looking to build a brand or grow some kind of following. This happens to all new social networks now because new and novel marketing channels give the best ROI, and influencers want to suck these dry before users become harder to influence.
It's been some time, but I can vividly remember his advice on exploring new social networks in order to generate ROI on new marketing channels. Basically what you are saying but with a lot of inferred 'bro' in the process.

#90The moment Clubhouse opened its doors to the gen pop, it was doomed.
