American Football's livestream from Minecraft - it became a place to gather

Classic emo band, now an adult-emo band American Football headlined a lengthy concert on April 11th, online across Minecraft becoming "a place to gather", The Verge journalist who was there reports. "I was surprised at how emotional the show made me, and it was the same for more than 10,000 people watching. Maybe it was because we were all experiencing this moment together, the first big communal event I’ve been to since self-quarantining about a month ago". The band reports they had raised $8,000 for charity. As it turns out, there's a technology that needs to be developed in order to make this kind of shows become bigger and work without glitches, something former Amazon Studios strategist and analyst Matthew Ball wrote about - “the technology simply does not yet exist for there to be hundreds, let alone millions of people participating in a shared, synchronous experience”.
