Exclusive Club(house
L ike many old people desperate to stay relevant, I made a Millennial friend. Only I hit the Millennial jackpot, which is the kind of jackpot that, instead of money, spits out excuses for why it doesn’t make enough money.
So when Igor Hiller — who was an Instagram comedy star , acted in the show Dear White People , started a podcast , and is now a life coach — told me early this year that we needed to join Clubhouse right away so we could monetize our influence there, I did it.

Reaching for the Stars
We’d have access to hundreds of simultaneous rooms of live chat, each a cross between a TED talk and a call-in radio show. Elon Musk, Oprah Winfrey, Tiffany Haddish, Mark Cuban, Mark Zuckerberg, Drake, and Jack Dorsey were hosting rooms, talking to randos. We, Igor said, could be the Clubhouse ra...

Social Climbing
Until then, I’d assumed Clubhouse withered because it was the Tiger King of apps, a pandemic lockdown fad for the bored and isolated. But the bored and isolated didn’t bail on TikTok.
Clubhouse died because populism has its limits. If you’re going to fight the time-shifting cultur...
