I agree and find this is the largest problem I face on clubhouse. Room discovery is hard. Titles and descriptions are often poorly written and inaccurate. I also often find the conversations to be far less insightful and interesting than I expected. I was hoping there would be more interesting discussions and lectures. Instead many rooms often feel a bit like a circle jerk for the hosts. Perhaps this is an issue in Clubhouse's ability to validate who people are. I have no idea if the person speaking is actually credible. Maybe Twitter spaces will be better since they have the blue check mark system and I can have confidence that the people speaking are known to some degree.

The design of Clubhouse doesn't start with rooms: it starts with people. You follow people you want to listen to, and when they happen to be in rooms--rooms either they started or that were started by someone they know who they follow and so they joined and were invited on stage--you get notifications and see those rooms on your list. You don't go into Clubhouse searching for rooms--they didn't even try to add features to let you rhino about rooms until December, and it frankly felt like they simply gave up on their vision--you search for people. (FWIW, that a system where you value people above content, and where rooms largely fork out of cliques of people who want to be associated with each other's followers, leads to "a circle jerk for the hosts", as you call it, might be obvious... at least in retrospect ;P.)
