What is 'Clubhouse'? Sounds like it's some kind of audio chat app?

It is, the hook is that it's on a "invite only" basis so it has the whole exclusivity. Imagine an actual club where celebs hang out, and that's hard to get in, so people line up to try to join in on the party, yet the "cool people" cut the line and have access to it.

So you're cool if you're already in, you know?

It got hyped up when Elon Musk joined and roasted Vlad from Robinhood, and suddenly everyone wanted an invite.

It's a interesting concept, but it was driven by celebrities hype and exclusivity ... but what isn't like that currently? Stocks, Crypto, you name it.

I thought it was an invite to a house party in the club, but when I got there it was just another meeting where I couldn't get the video to work.
sounds like a chat app for kids tbh
That would be Treehouse
reminds me of Mickey Mouse's Clubhouse TV series my son used to watch.
