I wish I knew why the whole concept of Clubhouse makes my skin crawl so hard but it does. Fairly or not, it feels like the latest, purest manifestation of the star-fucking economy and I just cannot. I had a similar reaction to Tinder sight unseen. I did eventually give in and try to Tinder and I found it was basically what I expected, which is strange becuase I wasn't super sure what I expected.

In the interest of intellectual honesty, I will say this: part of my aversion to Tinder stemmed from a suspicion that I would be received poorly there. I was. Was my instinct about the app fundamentally wrong or was it largely informed by my ancticipation of its suitability to me? I don't know. I don't plan to check my results on Clubhouse but in all fairness I'd probably be received roughly as well there.
