    Strictly speaking Bandcamp was one of the best places to just buy music on the internet. It served for years as an inconvient counterpoint to shitheads like the CEO of Spotify who claimed there was no way that Musicians could expect to earn money from selling music in this day and age.

    Bandcamp was a threat as an independent company to the strangling action being done on music by big corporations, and now it is not.

    With this in mind, strictly speaking, I would say we need a new Bandcamp not owned by a massive corporation as a bare minimum requirement.

      Definitely, the benevolence of corporations is not indefinite. No matter how good the times start out or manage to be, it always goes downhill.
