i kept waiting for the punchline in the paragraph comparing BandCamp to MySpace but it never came.
"Bandcamp and MySpace were both built by people who genuinely love music."
MySpace was sold by "Tom" to a large company which then, eventually, abandoned it... just like what is likely to happen to BandCamp. Tom made out like a bandit.. just like the owner of BandCamp likely did.
- spamizbad 3y agoMySpace as a major hub for musicians was probably an accident - originally it was just a clone of friendster, a social media site that was notorious for going offline. Too bad too, because back in the aughts (even after the News Corp acquisition) bands still relied on it for an internet presence, advertising shows, etc.
