Despite many knocking it here, I think there's at least one significant aspect of the clubhouse/twitter spaces/etc. model of audio chat: the much stronger feeling of connection that people get from being able to literally speak to the big personalities in whatever their area of interest is. we can debate whether that's good or bad, scalable, a feature or a product. But I think it's undeniable that the emotional dopamine hit people get from that are a lot higher than getting any kind of async response, especially text. It makes it feel much more real. Even if you don't interact at all and just listen, it feels like you're an insider, you've made it into the club, and you could speak up. Like you practically know <insert names>, you were on a call with them earlier today! That kind of interaction I think we might see a lot more of as a feature for e.g. streaming platforms. People crave it.
