Three reasons why I'm convinced Clubhouse is going to be big:
The journalists love the big-company competitor, and that competitor is playing the tired PR game around it.

Also, nobody but journalists and employees at the company seem to be using it (cf. Google+). https://twitter.com/WillOremus/status/1359695199467954177
