I am based in India and joined clubhouse in january. I have created hundreds of hours of content on clubhouse, run multiple clubs each with thousands of members. I like the community. made many friends. we onboarded many top film celebrities on clubhouse for our events. applied twice for creator program not got selected. anything new we created in my clubs we had copycats replicating the ideas even room title. after reading article creator program does not seem successful . clubhouse app still lacks key features which can help creators. - have to use third party service for analytics, - have to use a second phone to record content as audience, if you are mod audio notification of people hand raising is distracting. - irig2 and additional cables and adapters and mixers if you want to create studio quality content. have reduced content creation by about 80% in last 2 months looking for some platform gives a better monetisation options for creators. now building a NFT platform for creators

This and the doctor comment capture my impression of Clubhouse. It can't clamp down on bad actors because then its "user engagement" numbers would plummet, it can't get any sponsors to pay creators because it cannot show any reasonable revenue upside for the sponsors. It can't clamp down on copycats or pirates because then the amount of content on the site would drop precipitously. Typical chicken and egg problem and no path to bootstrap the first chicken.

You should checkout Twitter spaces. With the BTC tipping functionality, I think it'll be a great place for monetizing creator content.

  One of these platforms needs to pull a YouTube and share their own revenues. They don't realize that they are nothing without good creators, and consistency requires compensation, eventually.

If you're doing audio then just stick to podcasts. There's several mature platforms for monetization at expert or beginner levels. You can use social media channels to build audience and just something like anchor, acast, simplecast, transistor to whatever to host and monetize the content.

> now building a NFT platform for creators How does this solve any of problems you outlined earlier? I guess you could sell NFTs to generate income; but what’s the platform that provides everything else you spoke about?
