Clubhouse filled in for going out and talking to people.

I don’t think their decline is any great mystery. Concern about the pandemic declined, people started going out again, and stopped listening in on audio chats on the Internet.

Twitter Spaces is not doing great either, but it doesn’t really matter because it’s just a feature, not a whole business.

If you could go out and talk to celebrities, sure. Or hear off the cuff celebrities from different worlds mix.

That’s what made it so exciting in the beginning… making it feel like you were part of an exclusive club even if you weren’t a famous person. Eventually the hype fades because the bar lowers, and the most interesting people move on.

Your point about Covid is also fair… the timing was good.
