Having no interest in what Clubhouse is advertising to offer, I don't know that I've even seen a screenshot until reading TFA. And I'll admit that I probably don't run in the right circles anymore to judge the popularity of Clubhouse based on what my friends are doing.
So I'll ask: was Clubhouse ever all that popular? One doesn't need to be very cynical to understand why it started as invite-only. Were they able to leverage that FOMO into anything resembling a user base? Or is this just 2021's more complicated cousin to the Yo app[0], in that there's a bunch of hype up front but no real substance? TFA makes it sound like it's the app for narcissists and their hangers-on.
