I have noticed that a lot of tech and startup clubs on Clubhouse were created by users from India and Iran. Today the clubs are still dominated by users from these countries.

Nothing wrong with that but that also indicates the usual clickfarm spammers from developing countries had unfiltered access to Clubhouse from day 1.

This might sound elitist but it's probably a good idea that C2C apps get their first batch of users and community leaders from high income countries before branching out to the rest of the world.

India is a young country with a 1.4B population, with a lot of engineers. I know the quality can vary from gemstones to tombstones but there is an active tech community.

Why?

For the same reason some apps (used to?) launch on iphone first.

Unless they're targetting local communities with some sort of culturally relevant format, its good for their bottom line to target the most profitable customers of advertising anyways.

this is elitist and misinformed
