The technical problems being solved are certainly interesting.

But the snark that I have, is less directed at the clubhouse team, than it is against the cult-like users of clubhouse that I would run into or argue with, X number of months ago, that were clearly taking an app way too seriously.

If you live by the Hype, then you will die by it.

Maybe clubhouse will turn into something interesting eventually.

But it is clear, that all of those influencers and users, who were making out clubhouse to be some world changing app, that will revolutionize social dynamics, were wrong.

How much VC hype was due to sincere wish to promote something they believed and found use for and how much of it was shilling something that they have invested in. I'm not that active on Twitter, but for a while it was like a gospel "Clubhouse is the future"
I had to mute the word clubhouse on Twitter to keep from getting too cranky about it.

Avoiding VCs and accounts in their orbit helped as well.
