I'm sorry but the things you describe as selling points of the platform are merely byproducts of the argument you are replying to. Every gated and hyped community that gets a touch of the right people talking about it will feel very friendly and "high quality" for a while. The circumstance basically postpones the need for moderation.
It's something that was never going to last, and as far as I can see it is already over. Yes I gave Clubhouse an honest try after it was all hyped up at my workplace, what I encountered was overwhelmingly 1) Get rich quick scammers talking about how to get success like "Rich Person XYZ" or 2) Celebrities (of varying degrees) talking to/with their fans (or rather: bathing in their narcissism).
Hardly what I would describe as magical. And from what I can see even this artificial hype is already starting to die.
It is something everyone who ever played the closed beta or alpha versions of an online game before knows, those are cool, friendly and brimming with interesting encounters too while it lasts.
Do you honestly believe the feeling and special community you describe is something that is still around on there or will be still around in a month or two?
- bavell 5y agoGreat analogy to a closed alpha or beta for an online game. I played the WoW beta way back in the day - interactions with other players and the sense of community was completely different before vs after public launch. Perhaps related to the early adopter vs mainstream adoption in the innovation S-curve.
