Tim describes being duped by the Clubhouse hype, encountering scammers, ex-cons, and fraudsters on the app, plus stories about Jake Paul explaining NFTs to David Spade and LaKeith Stanfield getting into hot water moderating an antisemitic room.
- Tim was completely bamboozled by Clubhouse after seeing Marc Andreessen in a room and thinking it was where power players gathered.
- People getting out of jail for identity theft started appearing in Tim's Clubhouse notifications as new invites.
- Tim thought Clubhouse would be huge during the pandemic because he had 50,000 followers and got in early.
- The whole app was just Eric Weinstein talking for 23 hours a day.
- Jake Paul clammed up in a Clubhouse room when Tim mentioned the golden triangle.
- Jake Paul explained NFTs to David Spade on Clubhouse and was one of the most intellectual people on the app.
- Lakeith Stanfield moderated a Clubhouse room where people were calling Jews satanists and parasites.
- Clubhouse is the perfect way to lose your job because it's a literal recording of you saying something with no way to hide or claim context.
- Journalists like Taylor Lorenz from the Times were hanging out in Clubhouse rooms to get people in trouble.
- Tim finds it hilarious when people buy life coaching or investment courses on Clubhouse and thinks they deserve what happens.
- Tim knew a comic who called herself a life coach while being unsuccessful and getting evicted, which he found absurd.
