A few hours into having Clubhouse installed on my iPhone and I’m already exhausted. Crazy amount of notifications. I don’t really understand the point, and it makes me feel old. Why not just have a bunch of livestreams of audio-conference meetings on the web?

@adoran2 I turned off the notifications after a day. It’s crazy!

@adoran2 @maique Can I get a invite please?

@adoran2 @maique Guardian is reporting this app is now worth $1bn. WTF?! 🤣

@ridwan 2m active users a week. That's 500 dollars a user at a peak.

@Munish Crazy money! Tech biz valuations are really weird and astonishing.

@ridwan These valuations baffle me. I have no idea ¯_(ツ)_/¯

@ridwan smoke and mirrors ... much as the Uber valuation was pumped up AH dropped in 10 to make it a 100 million and then some more with others to take it to a billion ... self fulfilling prophecy and this way AH ensures its first 10 is pretty well protected.

See Jason Fried’s article on Basecamp valuation a few years ago

@JohnPhilpin I suppose the valuation might be based on how much data can be harvested from the users?

@JohnPhilpin Surveillance capitalism at its finest. 

@ridwan truth in words
