One might argue this was their “viral” marketing strategy and hence may deserve some blame for ruining things. Large VC shops are basically marketing engines for their portfolio companies.
- libertine 5y agoBut wasn't that the end game of the app? Or that app should have remained exclusive to some users? What users? Who would be the judge of that? Just multi millionaires? Just founders? Or tech people? I don't even know what "tech people" means. Even so, if it was supposed to be like that: what would be the appeal for those users if they didn't had access large audiences listening to them? If they want exclusive talks they can just pickup the phone and get any number. Elon wouldn't be roasting Vlad if he didn't get a large audience listening. People were joining because they wanted to be one of the few that had access to Clubhouse, even if they didn't listen to a single talk. That's not marketing, that's just the status quo. Clubhouse, crypto, pokemon cards, Supreme, a ride on a rocket to space, you name it. If they wanted exclusivity for rich people they could have charged 5k USD/year subscription, that would thin it out.
