Ask HN: Is Social Audio Dead?

Clubhouse succeeded when it came out due to timing (COVID), and also because of the novelty of a new medium.

Audio had never been used before as a social medium (at least to my knowledge?). However, it has dramatically slowed down and isn't anywhere near the top social platforms, mainly due to how easy it was for these big platforms to copy Clubhouse.

This begs the question: is social audio dead?

It seems to me that it's the only medium left that hasn't been fully capitalized in. For example, how TikTok capitalized on video.

What do you guys think?
