One concern is the lack of quality: homemade videos, lack of good audio quality, latency in Zoom performances. I moderate a Facebook music group and I see some dreadful posts.

Another concern is that we are training the public to expect music for free. Will it be even further devalued once (if) we come out of the quarantine?

I have prepared a virtual chamber orchestra for use in a church service. We didn't use Facebook, we used Zoom. But I am careful to state in the video that people are listening to my arrangements of music using only the instrumentation that would have been played live. People seem to understand.
