To fight Zoom fatigue, give people the freedom to turn their cameras off. New experiment: videos off reduces exhaustion and boosts engagement—especially for women and newcomers. Cameras off doesn't reflect disengagement. It helps to prevent burnout and promote attention.

Reminder: independent music cultures were doing a lot of innovative things before the rest of the world caught on, even pre-internet. All the interest in "direct to fan"? Artists and indie labels just used to call that "mailorder."

THIS IS WHAT AN INDUSTRY RESPONSE LOOKS LIKE. The rest of you need to wake up. So many mealy-mouthed cringe-worthy public statements coming out. Are you 'artist-friendly' or full of shit? Congratulations @BMGuk, your solidarity is truly noted. #BrokenRecord
