      bandcamp was sold to epic games in 2022 and again to songtradr this year, and half its staff got laid off recently. CEO said that it was not profitable enough - though it was already very profitable. So it’s likely to start squeezing every penny out of users and artists in the next few years

      There were news of trouble a couple of weeks ago: sold (earlier) twice, layoffs, union problems, uncertainty :(
