Clubhouse lets you collect payments to join some channels. Isn’t KYC reasonable in that case?

If it's limited to only people receiving payments, then it's far more reasonable than what I thought was happening (eg. people getting randomly asked for ID scans to use their service).
But I can say that I'm in... about 10 servers as a user and have a couple of bots I hacked together for various things operating in 3 of them and have never been asked for anything but my email. And across all the people I know using Discord, I was totally unaware that they even did that sort of identity verification because it seems like no one I know's ever run into it.
No. This is something we’ve become dangerously desensitized to.
