So, has it failed? I don't listen to auditory content because it's so much slower than reading, just like I don't watch "how to" videos if there's a text version. To my mind, video and audio are supplements to text, not replacements or improvements. But that's just me.

Did it fail? Did it fail like this prediction?

Fail as a term is pretty final, but Clubhouse doesn't seem to be doing great. Seen a number of stories come across. Here's today's: "Clubhouse is losing talent & steam"[1].

Thanks for the share. The lesson here rings true to me.
