1/ FOMO on top creators
Creators like @naval and @pmarca were active on Clubhouse from the beginning. Can't miss creators/content like The Lion King Show and @elonmusk (@GoodTimeShowCH) drove global word of mouth.

2/ FOMO on the best content
When a top creator goes live on Clubhouse, people feel a sense of urgency to tune in because:
1. Clubhouse content is not recorded
2. Clubhouse content is shared on social media in an incomplete state (which piques more interest to tune in)

3/ FOMO on invites
Clubhouse has good reasons to limit invites (e.g., moderation), but it also creates more FOMO.
I see many people asking for invites on social and even paying to get invites (e.g., on /r/clubhouseInvites).

4/ FOMO on growing audience
For creators, Clubhouse is a brand new platform to grow an audience (e.g., a rising tide lifts all boats).
The app also aggressively promotes follows through:
1. Onboarding
2. Notifications
3. Clubs

5/ FOMO on delightful experiences
Finally, in between all the "masters of ____" and "get rich quick" Clubhouse rooms is the delight of discovering an amazing topic or seeing a top creator join the conversation.
Variable rewards cause people to tune in more.
