> It's an authentic experience.

In many cases its the exact opposite, it's authenticity sold to you as an experience, and thus Clubhouse was born. Exclusivity as a service, about as authentic as Westworld. Which was obviously true for a lot of historical clubs as well, they're often just commercial spaces where you get to feel exclusive and that is most of the draw. It's no accident that so many of these new private online communities are crypto, AI tech or VC centric and were born coincidentally enough when a lot of money poured into them.
