Are you trolling? He's been banned over a dozen times from twitch, OWL, GTA5 RP, for a reason. His chat spills over to other streamers, harasses them on Twitter and Instagram, and spreads misogynistic (whore, slut, etc.), and homophobic, filth. The last incident? Yesterday [1].

xQc is just an edgy entertainer with a short fuse. I wouldn't class him as a bad actor because I don't think he intentionally tries to ruin things. Twitch chat is also a completely different beast that no one controls.
Not only is he not managing his fanbase, he is actively encouraging stream hopping. Moreover when he was banned from nopixel yesterday, server got ddosed into the ground afterwards ruining other people's streams.
Re: Clubhouse Payments
#233couldn't care less - still waiting for an invite 3 months later. probably won't join anyway now
I have invites, pitch why you'd make a good Clubhouse member.
the point is, they should have a quota set aside for people directly asking for invites - for people who don't want to beg their friends for them.

The "closed beta" is the marketing strat – people getting FOMO because they can't listen to a convo on CH. "Anyone have a CH invite?" was something I was seeing a lot of on Twitter over the past yearish. FOMO is one helluva drug.
Has that thing worked once after Gmail rollout?

I'm not saying that SEO spam will be clubhouse's problem. But there are more kinds of marketing than SEO. The "investment seminar" scam, for example, has been running for decades in the real world. I also think it's a mistake to think that common sense will save us. Everybody has weaknesses, and any given scam is carefully optimized for its target audience.
But that's already happening on it! It therefore wouldn't be dropping in quality from where it already is!
Your theory is that there's no way for the proportion of low-quality content to increase?

Correct, because it's all pretty much low-quality content by most standards.

Patreon doesn’t give a cut to Apple. It isn’t that far from what is described.
It’s because it’s for a good or service outside the app and not a digital good.
Is this actually applied properly and consistently? How is a Patreon of videos or audio different than Spotify or Netflix? Didn’t they both have to remove being able to subscribe via their iOS apps unless they wanted to lose a 30% cut? This makes it completely arbitrary then. As I can subscribe to a new Patreon in the app still.

Exactly. Apple is arbitrary when applying their own terms. Like Darth Vader.
Yeah. Your sibling comment drew a distinction, but it seems that distinction has arbitrary holes in its consistency as well. I’m sure if Patreon 50x’ed revenue and traffic starting next month — Apple would begin treating them more harshly.
Re: Clubhouse Payments
#240It seems to me that the Clubhouse will soon cease to be relevant. There is a lot more to people than just podcasts / lectures. And many people do not remember information by ear, I am one of them. And I use https://audext.com/ to capture the important points of the lecture
