Yeah, VC's that invested were propping it up, I saw this cycle repeat on there.
1. Some influential investor/entrepreneur/vs/elon musk type would tweet about the app.
2. The tweet would gain traction, news media would pick it up and write a story.
3. News articles were a sign that the app was "popular".
4. Everyone kept harping on about "installs".
Though it appeared that Clubhouse was going viral in popularity. It was really just a media echo chamber fueled by the "installs". People would hear about the app, install it and create an account, then play with it for 5 minutes before never opening the app again. But that mere install caused the cycle above to repeat.
In the end you had a ton of "installs", and barely any active users.
