Clubhouse

I haven’t used social media apps consistently much this year because I’ve honestly just become bored with them, but this app is different. Instead of feeling like your wasting time when you could be doing something more productive you’re actually gaining knowledge, making new friends, networking, and starting life changing relationships. Another plus is that you can meet people without the worry that they’re really just bots or dealing with the image obsessed culture of other social media apps that force you to post cumbersome videos & pictures that just brainwashes society into thinking that beauty is the most important defining trait of a human beings value. Rather than far better traits like knowledge, hard work, and actual social relationships. Apps like Instagram, Twitter and Tik Tok don’t have real social relationships they have “follow relationships” and it’s wonderful to finally see an app that’s finally reversing the pathetic trends social media companies have introduced into how we think about real human interactions. The one recommendation I would give to the developers is to add a functioning search feature, the app only lets you see chat rooms it’s AI search ranking system thinks you’ll be interested in. Unfortunately in my case this AI tends to be wrong more often than not. Beside that thank you to the people who created this amazing app, in a year where people are more isolated than ever before this app is finally doing something to bring people together.

I absolutely love clubhouse, the only thing that I dislike is industry people charging others to speak on a free platform that was built to create the connection between the industry world with individuals who are somewhat already in the industry. I feel like clubhouse needs to keep the app invite only maybe doing 1 invite every two months to stop the app from being over saturated like Facebook or Instagram where anyone can join. I think they need to have someone go into these rooms and make sure all guidelines are being met because most of them are not. This shouldn’t be a popularity app, but a tool to help creative minds link with professionals and network. People should not be charged to enter a public room by people claiming to be professionals. Cashapp’s should not be allowed in profile descriptions on a public platform. And I feel like being that the app was create to be an open form raising of hands should not be disabled. Moderators should just pick who that want on stage but not make someone feel less then by disabling hands.

OK so I've been here since a month after the App launched initially. Some of the people on this app are my closest and dearest friends them are coworkers, mentors, coaches, Family. But then again… There's also the thousands of people who I have met and enjoyed one or two conversations with, followed them, and then they deleted the app years ago. 5000 people add up quickly and I would love to be able to check for active members. While I hate to delete my friend Pip who I met the first week I was on the app, she hasn't been on the app for almost 5 years and we are connected on other social media as well as we can call each other all we want. It would be nice to be able to free up this space so I can follow and get to know new people who are active on the app. But instead of being able to easily filter for this I have to go through one by one every one of my friends and check to see who is active and who isn't and it's just a big time waste so I end up just not following new people (something I assume is common amongst people who've been here a while) So instead of asking us to go greet new people and join new clubs why don't you just help us to filter out some space so we can follow the specific new people that we do want to get to know not some random name you've just given us and told us to go wave at. It's a win-win for everyone. Plus think of all of the data space that it frees up on the back end. Why they haven't done that yet I have no idea. I am glad that they have now implemented to where you can see how many followers you have beyond just the people that you follow back
