I think we have to consider whether the audio is the defining feature. Clearly with Spotify, it is, and an expectation that it works for deaf users would be ridiculous.
I think with Clubhouse it's not. The defining feature is the network and social interaction, the audio is the format in the same way that on Facebook it's text. We expect Facebook to support screen readers for their text posts, so I think it's reasonable to expect that Clubhouse do something for deaf users.
Whether they should be required to do this at an early stage or not is a different question in my opinion, but I think it's fair to consider eventual support the Right Thing To Do.
