Clubhouse reminded me of the description in Neuromancer of the trends (I think the relevant example was the Panther Moderns) that emerge out of nothing, become prominent, and then disappear within a couple weeks. It's not at all surprising that this happens with a social network, what I find more interesting is that there is a better opportunity to capitalize on it by purposely embracing "disposability" and grabbing some value out of it as it runs its course, instead of insisting that it be a longer term play that demands a bunch of VC funding and whatever demands come with trying to maintain that valuation.
