What happened to clubhouse?
- keewee7 5y agoI have noticed that a lot of tech and startup clubs on Clubhouse were created by users from India and Iran. Today the clubs are still dominated by users from these countries. Nothing wrong with that but that also indicates the usual clickfarm spammers from developing countries had unfiltered access to Clubhouse from day 1. This might sound elitist but it's probably a good idea that C2C apps get their first batch of users and community leaders from high income countries before branching out to the rest of the world.
- teatree 5y agoIndia is a young country with a 1.4B population, with a lot of engineers. I know the quality can vary from gemstones to tombstones but there is an active tech community. >This might sound elitist but it's probably a good idea that C2C apps get their first batch of users and community leaders from high income countries before branching out to the rest of the world. Why?
- iqanq 5y agoFor the same reason some apps (used to?) launch on iphone first.

Unless they're targetting local communities with some sort of culturally relevant format, its good for their bottom line to target the most profitable customers of advertising anyways.
- sss111 5y agothis is elitist and misinformed
- ohyoutravel 5y agoIt almost immediately upon the real adoption curve (this seems like October November 2020 anecdotally to me) just absolutely filled to the brim with NFT shills, cryptocurrency pumpers, and “self actualization with this one weird trick” promoters of their MLM. But early 2021 it was impossible to find any rooms with anyone discussing anything but these things.
- tcoff91 5y agoYeah, and unfortunately the only rooms not run by scammers were filled with people talking about anti-semitic conspiracy theories. What a cesspool it became.
- drexlspivey 5y agoTwitter knocked them off with Twitter spaces.
- bozhark 5y agoNah, they just kind of sucked. Like, who really needs a voip protocol pretending to be a program?
