What a strange app. Are people really that amazed by conference calls? It seems the entire play right now is exclusivity, not product.
It's not a conference call. It's a moderated panel, and they have many famous / interesting people participating on their platform.
Or I guess if you're closer to my age, it's like a radio station you can't listen to without a password?

Giants will clone and make a piece of shit. Apps like this survive by creating a network of people. They do that by creating demand to join the service. How do you do that? Make it invite only, and invite a ton of high profile people and get them using and talking about it, creating FOMO. The only people who threaten this are Facebook and Twitter. Twitter _actually_ could clone it or buy a competitor. But, look at Tw…
> Giants will clone and make a piece of shit. Facebook does a damn good job of sinking ships. The only two survivors I can think of are TikTok and Snapchat. And Snapchat pivoted.

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…
I ended up turning them back on but I still get a lot of them even though I've changed the setting they provide to "less frequent".
> 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.

It started out with a bang (fanfare and huge celebrity usage), ended (well I guess Quora still exists...) with a whimper.
Does anyone use clubhouse for anything other than self promotion?

It really is strange, I can only credit its success so far to the fact that it's tapping into people's primal urge to be able to literally shout down the opposition instead of just metaphorically shout them down. I don't know why anyone would find the format of being forced to debate on the spot better than having the time to construct posts at your leisure. Every clip or story I've heard/seen come out of the app has…

Welcome to VC funded businesses. They literally don't have to worry about creating money for now
That must be one helluva slide deck to convince VCs that user supported/subscription based income will work.

The "regular" channels didn't feel very valuable to me after a week of use or so, and a lot of them seemed exclusively made for the purpose of gaining more followers (either on CH, IG or Twitter, etc.).
