It's very early success (first 6 months) was because of VC hype [1]. You couldn't go anywhere online without hearing how Clubhouse is the next big SV social media bet. I'm guessing a lot of that hype has died down as users find out the app really isn't that useful.

1. You do know CH is valued at $1bn? I mean, the absolute insanity of this can't be understated. Their success is entirely manufactured https://pitchbook.com/newsletter/clubhouse-picks-up-new-fund...

That's because VCs got to use it, and nobody has a larger ego or desire for other people to hear them talk than a VC who's just been paid a lot to spend other people's money.
