Aren't conference calls also moderated? Otherwise they would just be a broadcast.

That’s the gist of it. A moderated conference call with famous people on it. So it is like a podcast/conference call.

I tried it, but got bored of it :(. I think it’s because of the live nature of it and the fact there could be so many guests on at once.

I think clubhouse style audio and live stream selling (like qvc but on Instagram or Tik Tok) are the current and future trends.

No. A conference call allows anyone to talk whenever they want.

Conference calls also have hosts who can mute and manage the guests. We had conferencing 2.0 about 5 years ago with the likes of Uberconference, and now 3.0 with Zoom. What is actually new?

It’s a panel discussion, with an optional mic that can be explicitly passed around. There are bios on everyone that you can click around, no video, many rooms you can join arranged by subject matter and people, and a social network that includes many A-listers. The entire premise is different than a conference call. I don’t know what else to say… I’m guessing you haven’t tried it if you keep saying it’s the same thing.
