This is what I would expect. Though Clubhouse is a novel idea, it's relatively easy for a plethora of social networks to implement something similar and immediately have the network effect of their already immense userbase. On Instagram/Youtube/Facebook people can already go live with video. I think we will very quickly see similar audio-rooms on these platforms.

e.g. [Twitter Spaces](https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/spaces https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/spaces) I already have access to Spaces and have been considering trying it. It's not clear to me that anyone would show up, though: they have to be using the mobile app, and I only have ~1800 followers. Maybe people will get used to it? The thing about something like Clubhouse is that the audio chat is _why_ people are there. I am curious to see how it plays out.

IG (and then FB) stole the "stories" idea from SnapChat. I don't see why they wouldn't do the same with this feature.

Exactly what happened to Slack being killed by Microsoft Teams, Meerkat killed by both Periscope (Twitter), Instagram Live. Snapchat suffered the same thing with Instagram Stories; but although they survived, user growth slowed. We will see lots of audio-rooms on IG, Facebook, Twitter, etc and Clubhouse will join Meerkat as another victim of this VC hype machine, who ironically are hyping them on Twitter!

  > Slack being killed by Microsoft Teams The rumors of Slack demise are greatly exaggerated. Mostly by Microsoft.
