- stijnveken 2mo agoEpic actually sold Bandcamp 3 years ago. I only started using it lately so I can't say how it was before, but I think it's still good. https://pitchfork.com/news/epic-games-sells-bandcamp-amid-layoffs/ https://pitchfork.com/news/epic-games-sells-bandcamp-amid-la...

- kennywinker 2mo agoUnfortunately bandcamp laid off virtually all of their engineers a month or so back: https://www.hypebot.com/new-bandcamp-layoffs-why-artists-are-worried-and-where-to-turn/ https://www.hypebot.com/new-bandcamp-layoffs-why-artists-are... So, not enshittified, but either abandoned or headed for ensloppification.
- nsteel 2mo agoDid they only recently release access to a new streaming API or did I dream that (again)?
- ggirelli 2mo agoI've been using it sporadically over the past 10+ years and have not noticed any major changes, at least for my limited use.
