The popularity of the voice-chat app, Clubhouse is evident through its competitors which continuously venture into developing a similar application. Besides the social media platforms that entered the competition, we could see Reddit sooner joining the audio-chat bandwagon.
At any time, we could hear news about a new voice-chat project coming from the front page of the internet. What could it possibly feature when it comes out?
Reddit is Just Quiet in Developing a Clubhouse-Like App
There is news circulating that the widely-known social news aggregation site, Reddit is silently working on its application which could resemble Clubhouse.
An anonymous person who is knowledgeable in the plan of the company has revealed that the voice-chat app is now in its early stages of development. At the moment, any information about it is confidential to the public.
Mashable reported that they have contacted Reddit many times to confirm if it is already testing the capability of the feature. However, the company did not give any comment about the question.
In August 2020, a Reddit admin named u/plgrmonedge said that the company is now "testing a new concept" with select partners from the subreddit. This could tell that the company could be adding Voice chats in its power-ups program.
The said program will tackle introducing the additional features of the app. This also suggests that only those Reddit members who buy "a minimum threshold of power-up subscriptions" will be able to participate in the powerups experiment.
"The new [power-up] experiment helps create a framework that allows us to add 'nice to have features for subreddits," the admin said in August, Gizmodo reported.

Power-Up Features That Reddit Said About its Clubhouse-Like App
To have a glimpse of the possible features in this power-up tease, users could now be able to stream up to HD quality videos. Apart from that, they could also upload clips and "inline" GIFS when commenting in a forum.
Moreover, a user could subscribe for $4.99 per month to fully enjoy the power-up perks as stated in the subreddit created by r/suspiciouslyspecific.
Furthermore, Reddit could adopt the same feature through Discord. The video-streaming platform has also server boosts, where users pay to gather their "collective perks" in the form of new emojis, larger limitations when uploading media, and higher quality of audio.
Reddit is only one of many companies that share a similar interest to create a clone of Clubhouse. This made the app a prime example of how far could it go due to its impressive features and solid user population.
Twitter introduced Spaces in early March, while Facebook's New Product Experiment division announced this week that it is also developing a Clubhouse clone app to compete with the original creator.
