If Clubhouse starts incorporating virality and algorithmic amplification, all this might change. If I had to guess, I'd say people would then flee it the way they flee from here. I guess undue media attention plus the Clubhouse growth team may well cooperate to make that happen.

Also: Tech people are upset at existing tech criticism/reporting. While there are notable exceptions, the real problem is most tech reporting HAS NOT BEEN properly critical and too often focuses on trivia and remains superficial. Tech has NOT been criticized/scrutinized enough.

"Someone said a wrong thing on Clubhouse, call the fact-checkers" and Clubhouse's own growth team—and VC's hoping for exponential returns—are in a symbiotic relationship. Loser: the substantive discussion on how to deal with a profound, amazing AND terrifying historic transition.

How do we know journalists are reporting the right information- public interest (I am talking abouth health, for example)? The person/association/body providing the information may have conflicts of interest, and even the journalists may think these are not important.
