I'm actually not super bullish on clubhouse. I'm sure they'll find some success but to call it something that will become one of the most important platforms, I don't see it. And perhaps I'll be proven wrong in the next decade on this.
I've recently started using twitter again (after initially using it in 2010/2011) and I feel that there's so much self promotion all the time disguised at knowledge sharing. It also seems like everyone (most people) have a podcast, a newsletter, a youtube channel, etc. I understand that on a surface level people are doing this to increase their 'surface area' but there's just too much and while I'm sure it does a some/a lot of good for the people putting it out there, most of it just seems like noise to me. So that's my reasoning to think that clubhouse won't really become as meaningful as you - it just adds more noise. Sure I can hangout in this room or listen to some folks talk about x/y/z topic, etc. but honestly I feel that after some time people will realize that their time could be better spent.
Dang I totally feel you on the whole self promotion thing and for me, it happened with Medium.
Used to love reading essays all the time but now all the titles tend towards click bait and every essay seems to begin or end with them pitching their newsletter/podcast/etc. and that ends up coloring my whole impression of what I just read.
