I had a VC friend who switched to an iPhone, from Android, because of FOMO on Clubhouse. Now, after he realized that Clubhouse has naturally degenerated into a bunch of random people spouting off, with only a few rare pockets of quality content, he won't admit he switched to iPhone because of Clubhouse.

This has to rank near the top of the most vain thing I've ever heard before. Thanks for sharing.
It’s not vain, it’s literally part of the job to evaluate new products and services. Don’t be so needlessly judgemental.
That's a useful signal. I wouldn't invest in or work for any startup backed by a guy who can't admit to a friend that he got things wrong.
You should be a better friend and maybe work through some of these impulses instead of seeking validation about being "right"
