Opinion: How the Internet’s latest obsession went from amusing to a hot mess


For those who haven’t had the chance to explore the app, Clubhouse is the trendy new invite-only audio app where participants can move around virtual rooms and discuss different topics like art, pop culture, sports and even stocks. — AP

I first came to know about the Clubhouse app through social media. I was an outsider – people would take the audio conversations from the then-exclusive app and talk about them on Twitter and Instagram.

When I finally received my invitation to the app through a friend, I felt like I was part of the in-crowd. I could finally chime in on what everybody else was talking about. The app was refreshing, especially due to the extreme Zoom fatigue I’d been feeling. It was a cool approach to staying in contact and starting meaningful conversations during this socially distanced time.
