New Xbox Dashboard Update Removed Access to Clubs

Besides the horrifying dystopian idea of constantly being bombarded front and center with advertisements for something I am already paying for, the new update seems to have removed access to the Xbox Clubs entirely. It's no longer on the dashboard, it's no longer on the Xbox Guide, and the only way to access it at this point is by opening a club notification, or locating your "Clubs on Xbox" invites within the "Friends & Community Updates" section, then scrolling down and clicking on "See all", which just takes you to your own profile's "Following" section. This is ridiculous. Adding more barriers will dissuade a lot of casual gamers from even bothering trying to figure out where and how to check out the Club. This should be urgently addressed.

I manage quite a few clubs, with thousands of members. Is this an error? Is this a bug? Are there plans to fix this? Are Xbox Clubs being fazed out? (big mistake) Will we be able to see the Xbox Clubs on the dashboard again? Will we be able to access the Xbox Clubs form the Xbox Guide again? What's going on with the Xbox Clubs?

Xbox Clubs are a great feature, and the last major update removed the ability to easily invite new people to the Club. Now, you have to view their full profile, which adds an unnecessary barrier to a simple process. The Club descriptions were even effected, as they lowered the character count. The longer bios from before weren't changed, however, if I try to edit them, I cannot save without shortening the character count. They also took away the ability to upload videos edited from your PC, which disadvantaged professional content creators that edit their content with professional software. However, I understand that this could have led to people spreading inappropriate content.

Xbox Clubs allow some of the communities I manage to post content from our in-game events, vote for their favorites in various photo competitions, post event notifications, and much more. Instead of taking away more features, it would be nice to see Xbox add more Club features, such as: Polls, Emoji Reactions, multiple pins for different Club Channels, longer club descriptions, and more creative ideas that would give Xbox its sense of "community" back.
