Today, I have deleted my Clubhouse account. Technically speaking, I have “deactivated” it and it will be deleted 30 days from now. Social networks hate it if you delete your account.
I have had a stellar six months on the platform in 2021. I gained many new friends around the world, I amassed 20k followers and founded a club with 60k members, but eventually people went elsewhere.
Clubhouse made a lot of bad changes to the platform, all the while pretending to listen to their users, which they never really did. I have to assume that they came to the end of their runway because they now have come up with a scheme to make some money. What are they offering? Stalking features.
I had deleted the app on my iPhone quite a while ago and only kept one installation on a rarely used device. Today it was finally time to also remove my account from the platform.
