> I don't think there are many people on Clubhouse who are using it to talk to have audio conversations with their friends and family - that's what WhatsApp and suchlike are for.

Did I miss something? What happened to the telephone? Been using that for audio conversations for quite a while and don’t have to be a part of privacy-compromising social media companies.

I remember reading an advice column where the author told a woman who was vexed that her children insisting on texting their friends instead of just calling them, "take solace in the fact that one day they'll likely be asking their own children, why don't you just text your friends?" I don't use apps like Whatsapp myself but it seems like they appeal to a lot of people for one reason or another.

Edited my comment to clarify I meant "group audio" conversations.
