Davison did not explicitly name the types of links that wouldn't be allowed, but he suggested links to OnlyFans wouldn't be accepted because porn links are banned.

Anyone can add, change, or remove a link, so long as they are a moderator of a room and regardless of the number of followers they have.

Clubhouse won't take a cut of revenue from any transactions that occur through the link, although Davison said the team would likely share news in the upcoming months about ways in which the app itself will monetise, like through ticketed rooms and subscriptions.
