Are Audio Room Apps Dead?


Clubhouse, Twitter Spaces, and countless other audio room apps popped up during the hype. What happened to them?

I think video livestreaming eats a lot of that market. For instance there are a few video producers who make a daily Ukraine report like this one

and it may be the future of news because the NBC Nightly News isn't covering Ukraine the way it did at the beginning of the war. I don't ever tune into that livestream because it is at the wrong time of day for me, but it is recorded so I watch (but mostly listen to it) every day later on.

I don't everybody realizes what a juggernaut Youtube is. My son and I were talking about how we listen to many Youtube channels while we do something else: even though

has great visuals it is also good background sound.
