I really did not want to like Clubhouse, the popular, invite-only, drop-in audio app that lets you browse, listen to, and start your own discussions on an incredibly broad range of topics.
Cognoscenti will tell you the Clubhouse experience is like being at a thrilling dinner party filled with intriguing and often unexpected guests (“I’m here with Walter Isaacson and Michael Dell, and I see Kai-Fu Lee just entered our room”).
Others, like
Vanity Fair’s Nick Bilton, hold a less flattering view, describing the experience as often being like “you’ve dialed in to the wrong conference call number at Dunder Mifflin Paper Co.”
