I just learned that #Bandcamp has been essentially gutted, with half of the staff being let go. It sounds like it will soon be turned into the shadow of itself and it's such a shame.
I'd like to thank all the people who worked there and built a service that had the artists' back. In our stagnant, corporate-centric cultural environment you made something that really enabled music to develop in many new interesting directions.
