Does anyone use clubhouse for anything other than self promotion?

in the past 4 weeks I've used it for the following, with impressive results:

- Networking - Learning about micro-cultures - Practicing my Russian daily - Motivation & Wellness tips - SaaS Growth Hacking tips - Parenting / Relationship Advice - Improve Jam Sessions using "looping" - Listening to a whole lot of authentic wisdom - Remote Sader during Passover - Having a Q&A w/ God.

The last time I've had such a plethora of quality engagement was at BurningMan ( circa early 2000's )

Is it just me or does Clubhouse totally abuse notifications? I turned it on and it spammed me non-stop for rooms that were nowhere near my interests. I had to deactivate, which made the app pretty pointless because I'm not aware of interesting rooms until afterwards. I wish you could tell apps "give me no more than 5 notifications a day, but those better be damn good notifications". Also the front page of Clubhouse i…

> spammed me non-stop

growth hacking. worked like a charm for FB, LinkedIn, etc.

I'm amazed you've gotten so much out of the content there. In my testing it was a lot of jabbering on and it was very difficult to find good, relevant rooms.

Full disclosure: I work in the payment space. -> I really wish that they used crypto for this type of things. Crypto has some pretty massive advantages. 1) No cc fees if you have a wallet. 2) No risk of censorship 3) support in any country.

> 100% of the payment will go to the creator ... Clubhouse will take nothing. Well imagine if they had an Android app in the first place or earlier right before all the big players started copying them, then it would have been attractive to the users. Right now, what is the point if the invite system is still there. Another platform can just announce the same thing and they are back to square zero. > We are excited t…

> Yet, with no Android app and an increasing amount of competitors copying the hell out of Clubhouse, I can only see this going in the way of Meerkat, Yik Yak and Periscope. (By being shut down) We'll of course have to wait and see, but I don't imagine that Clubhouse will be entirely displaced. What's unique about Clubhouse is not the concept of a Clubhouse room itself, which is essentially a Discord channel with bas…

> Clubhouse is one of the very few online places I've seen people willing to speak frankly on sensitive political issues in Chinese

This is more an effect of you being exposed to Chinese people rather than some new phenomenon. Mainland politics is everywhere online, it's in the digital spaces that Westerners rarely visit though.

They are aggressive. For each person you follow, you get notifications "Sometimes" when they are on stage. In practice, it seems like "Almost Always".

i think that has to do with 3 factors: -- who i follow + their recommendations -- time spent discovering -- serendipity (very high)

Why they don't charge any fees? I don't use clubhouse (Android) but if I were user I would be happily paying 1-2% fees and would rather prefer seeing service has source of income.

For an early-stage venture-backed startup a small amount of revenue is worse than zero revenue. What the CEO has sold to investors is slices of glorious future potential. But once you have cold, hard cash coming in, suddenly people start evaluating you as a present, actual thing. And in practice, the amount of money coming in from a new, experimental product won't do shit to drop your burn rate. Better to stay in the…

Full disclosure: I’m being pedantic. Are you suggesting Clubhouse doesn’t use cryptography?

More seriously: cryptocurrencies don’t need to be shoved into everything, and I’d like if HN cryptocurrency warriors would stop assuming that it’s the ultimate and stable solution for all payment problems today.
