Just like insta stories resulted in "kaun Snapchat? Kaayka Snapchat?", We will see twitter spaces destroy clubhouse.
Why imho clubhouse can never overcome twitter spaces

I mean I woke up one morning, saw twitter spaces enabled, started a random session on a whim and instantly got 60 listeners. Next day, another impromptu one and 120 listeners. With no advanced notice.

Why should I even think about clubhouse when I can do everything here?
Going a bit professorial, but this is what you call an "intangible market based asset". @Twitter's most valuable asset is these twitter friendships and groups and cliques and suchlike we have formed for over a decade. I've never met most of my twitter friends but I trust them.
Even clubhouse used twitter networks to get their rooms going. Why did Elon Musk need to tweet his clubhouse if clubhouse was so clubhouse?
When @Twitter eventually scales up Spaces fully and removes bugs (cos it buggy AF ATM!), Clubhouse will look like quora or even google plus.

Sigh, I wish I could short @joinClubhouse 😭😭😭

I find it hard to believe that some other senior leaders within the BJP aren't at least contemplating a takhtapalat. Even though they are safe till 2024, it was a widespread resistance movement like this in 2012 that indirectly brought them into power in 2014.
You can sense a shift in the winds in the sanghi quarters this year. Like they realize this might be one bungle too many to still keep counting on loyal support. Even their IT cell game, though virulent as ever, seems to be faltering a bit.
I'm not saying any such attempt will succeed. But it's interesting to think of the possibilities.

I've been reading a lot of Erica Chenoweth recently. They have some mind blowing results from empirical analysis of civil resistance. The 5% rule.

I was so exhausted yesterday evening, physically and emotionally, that I fell asleep at 7 pm! So missed the President's joint address. Gonna watch it now. He always makes me feel better.
"Covid deaths are down 80% since January. 80%! Because of all of YOU!"

It's so refreshing to see a president give the credit to the people instead of going me me me me me!
This speech feels so soothing. Like how FDR's fireside chats must have felt during the great depression.

Resonates 😑
"let me switch to a better network." said someone on spaces

@imsabbah: "wow, you have options!"

😢😢😢
Covid has made people forget the nightmare Kashmir is living through, even with the internet ban supposedly lifted.

I really hope they share it cos it was a really nice session. 😁😁
Abhishek Asthana, please pay your people more.
IT cell sanghis have been tilting against the "sabnis is anti hindu, employers" windmill for years now. Never works. I've explained to my bosses very well the difference between being anti-hindu and anti-hindutva. Many are POC themselves. They get it. So such attempts are fun.

This! So much this!

Muslimphobia is a real thing.
Anti-semitism is a real thing.

There is quite literally no such thing as "hinduphobia" outside the intentionally misleading sangh propaganda. NO. SUCH. THING.

The non-Hindu world does not even think about Hinduism.
I have lived outside India for 15 years and visited 30 countries. Sometimes I've been discriminated against because I'm brown skinned. But not once, ever, remotely, have I been discriminated against because I'm Hindu.

It's a completely fabricated canard like love jihad!
No one in the world except the Sangh Parivar has actual Hinduphobia.

Really, Abhishek gabbbarsingh Asthana, of all the people you chose to sic your 100K plus sockpuppets on, you had to choose me? You have no idea what you have voluntarily signed up for. This coming decade should be fun.
My vengeance is calibrated not in tweets but in years.
How stupid must fascist Abhishek gabbbarsingh Asthana be to pick a fight with a guy who was profiled recently in literally THE top business publication in the world?
