This is hilarious cause I know so many ppl in my circles who've been trying to get into Clubhouse for ages, and my dad overlaps with nothing associated with clubhouse at all - he's white, extremely religious, and watches fox news

Clubhouse was founded and then promoted by conservative (some even call them alt right) rich Silicon Valley guys

I've heard the term "alt right" used for so many people who aren't alt right that I'm hesitant to just believe that without proof

Sure, the point is that the first guys on Clubhouse for the year it was really tightly locked down were rich, almost all white (and if not mostly Asian) and very conservative.

Rich, white and conservative does not mean alt right, just to be clear And regardless of the founders, clubhouse is now a very black app and does not overlap much at all with my dad's world
