I think the biggest problem I had with clubhouse was everyone treated it as a place to grow their brand and personal network via some weird combination of bragging about what they’re doing and soapboxing.

The sheer number of introductions I had to sit and listen to any time I joined one…it was absolutely baffling. We’re talking sometimes 15 minutes of just sitting there as every person introduced themselves, every project they are working on, their experience, their favorite shows, their workout routine, etc.

The one time I actually found a conversation about gear talk (film/video) it was just a couple of folks who were new to the industry all trying to power network with each other. It was weird. Podcast ones were just people treating it like their podcast.

I'm curious if when someone joined Clubhouse had a huge effect on their experience. I don't remember too much of this when I joined in Dec 2020, but maybe it was already there and I was just in different rooms.

When did you join?

I got my invite January of 2021 (just pulled up the app for the first time in easily a year and was still logged in).

Ah ok, then maybe we were just in different rooms, I think even at that point it was less of a clubhouse and starting to become more of a bar with multiple rooms, DJs, outside areas, conference room, etc :-D
