Ask HN: Is social audio still an untapped market?

1 pointslymerson2 comments

Clubhouse, Twitter Spaces, etc.

I feel like there's still a lot of potential in this space. Clubhouse was the first to get popular but then it fizzled out once other platforms started copying them.

Twitter Spaces has been pretty successful and so I think there's room for new apps to try to compete in the social audio space.

What do you think?

80/20 Pareto principle. Market is already established, podcasts make up the majority of content (yt/audio), and Twitter spaces for the quick instant social podcasts.

Clubhouse wanted to selective and limit the audience, so people didnt even get to try it during the hype. (Apple only is dumb). Now twitter spaces seems to be the popular ones, always people starting them nightly.

I think to compete, a plugin for social group audio that can compete with twitter spaces so people can use on any platform is the most possible alternative. So people can post/share on all social media is the only chance to get a foothold and compete.

Isn’t social audio called podcasts? The advantage of audio is that you can do something else than look at a screen, which lends itself better to long form content.
