Clubhouse has quickly become one of the world's most popular audio-based social media platforms. Its meteoric rise could be attributed to the fact that people are looking for new ways to consume and create content. In the Netherlands, the platform was critically received by Dutch online users, especially with concerns related to its privacy policy and data sharing frameworks.
The first 4 months of 2021 showed a fluctuation in sentiment among Dutch users. It is estimated that over a million Dutch users have downloaded the app, which is currently exclusive to Apple iPhone users.
From a broad perspective, Dutch users had mixed feelings about Clubhouse. Some didn't even know what Clubhouse was , others enjoyed having a discussion about ballet on it, and Matthijs made a meme out of it (even marketing professionals had their share of the fun ).
One thing is for sure: Clubhouse has quickly become one of the most popular social media apps in the Netherlands.
The word 'Clubhouse' was mentioned 35.7K times in online conversations in the Netherlands during the past 4 months, though it appears that there's a significant peak around mid-February.
The conversation around mid-February initially started when Rianne Meijer (@globalistaa) tweeted about how Clubhouse made the good old telephone good again (something which Millennials and Gen-Z users have long forgotten about at the expense of instant messaging and TikTok-ing).
Then, funnily enough, another person named Raymond Janssen (@RaymonJanssen) tweeted an old poster ad for a service called 'Party-Line' which is the OG Clubhouse that launched back in the 80s.
It was all fun and games until someone took a deep dive into Clubhouse's privacy policy and found some alarming issues. On February 21, a user named Astrid (@ Level_36_) tweeted about her concerns related to the alleged data privacy issues.
Within a few minutes, the tweet received over 400 retweets and over 700 likes, something which enraged some users and led to a discussion on GDPR compliance and overall legalities surrounding the popular app.
Interestingly, if we perform a sentiment analysis of 'Clubhouse' around that same period, we realize that it took a downward dive - mainly due to the ongoing conversations surrounding data privacy. However, while that conversation was happening, there was another debate brewing regarding race and hate speech on the app represented by @ godsendo's tweet below:
