There is ostensibly a dress code.” https://www.bloomberg.com/... Lucas Shaw / @lucas_shaw : My dear friend and party queen @MichelleLhooq has written about quarantine nightlife for @luxury (also her @business debut!) https://www.bloomberg.com/... @bw : People are paying real money to enter private Zoom nightclubs https://www.bloomberg.com/... @michellelhooq : lots of ppl skeptical that livestreaming is a viable way to $upport artists, but i've been hanging out in the wildest virtual clubs on the internet, and this is just the beginning of a new model for live gigs. my first story for @business: https://www.bloomberg.com/... Stuart Wallace / @stuartlwallace : Zoom nightclubs move beyond novelty in bid to make actual money. Can a novelty for the bored-at-home make real money after the coronavirus pandemic? https://www.bloomberg.com/... via @MichelleLhooq https://twitter.com/... Debit / @delibeat : its hard for me to get into zoom partying/clubbing/socializing, because i spend all day in class in this exact platform...i hate its UX and no more than 3 people can talk at once. not alot of host adjust the audio so its shit, developers plis hurry https://www.bloomberg.com/...
