Clubhouse (the social audio app) has potential, but it also has multiple challenges.

2. When I open my podcast app, it's almost guaranteed there will be something I want to listen to. But 9/10 I open the Clubhouse app and there's nothing I want to listen to (or participate in).pic.twitter.com/jtliGtiWyk

3. Audio quality. Because folks are mostly using earbuds the audio on Clubhouse is not great. It also frequently cuts out as people go on elevators, drive into a zone with no service, or lose their wifi connection.

4. VC funding (and their desired returns). Based on their last round of investment, Clubhouse is currently valued at $100 million. VCs want a return on their $12 million investment. Typically, for consumer-focused startups, that means running ads (and lots of them).

5. Clubhouse is fun when it's the "cool, underground club" that only a few people know about. But, the experience will likely get worse as more people join: more noise, less signal.

"For me, Clubhouse is like a virtual Meetup." It really seems like Clubhouse is less an "audio startup," and more of a "networking startup."

The medium seems inherently difficult. Hard to manage audience participation in an audio-only room, when number of participants outpaces a videoconference. So they tend to be one-directional, which is basically just a podcast, but worse

Could add text chat, but... then it becomes just another livestream app

If the founders don't shape enough of what the experience is supposed to be, you get 'unintended consequences'; this is often what happens when it's left open to users.

I didn’t know I had such social anxiety until joining that app haha. Love the idea of open conversations but for some reason I just feel more exposed in those ‘listening rooms’.
