People forget that Instagram was iOS-only for quite a while before an Android version was available.

I’ve been on Clubhouse for over two months now; it’s very polished for a beta app and the community it has attracted is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced and I’ve been online since the BBS days of the 80s and everything since then.

The $100 million they raised from a16z gives them the runway to do things right. I see the copies shutting down before in their attempts to displace Clubhouse.



Instagram was a much more niche app back when it was iOS-only, and it didn't have the likes of FB, Twitter and Microsoft racing to copy all of its features.
