    I’m a bandcamp user and buy stuff regularly there, only because they are the lesser of all evils… but what is their current status? I thought they went bankrupt and owned by tencent?

    Are they still fighting the good fight? Or heading toward enshittification?

      I imagine they will inevitably enshittify since the buyout but they seem to be good still for now.

      The nice thing is I get to download the files so I’m not fucked when it happens.

      They are still doing the Bandcamp Fridays where everything you pay goes to the artist, so that’s nice.

      Bandcamp was owned by Epic Games, not Tencent for a short while, and now owned by Songtradr which does not have anything to do with tencent.

      At least, this is what i found.
