I enjoyed it early on (about a year ago) as it was novel and had this sort of "cosiness" to a lot of the chats. I stopped using it as much when my dad had a stroke in late January and I just wasn't in the mood.. but I've since returned a bit and it still isn't clicking for me anymore. A few ideas as to why:
1. A core group of speakers got addicted to it, tended to dominate many of the rooms, and appeared to know each other. So it got a bit samey and boring with them moderating everything.
2. A quantity vs quality dynamic seemed to appear in order to grow following counts and club sizes, which led to non stop lowest common denominator chats. I just went on now and this is clearly still a problem.. "Big Income Opportunities for You in 2022", "Real Relationship Talk", "Networking eLounge".. these sound like email spam subject lines. For me, these topics suck for the same reason on Clubhouse that they would if they were Ask HN topics..
There's probably more to it than that, and I might be being unfair, but those are just my initial gut answers.
