    They’re literally the people who care about Bandcamp as a social/cultural institution and feel a sense of ownership. Epic/Songtradr obviously regard that as a liability, and would rather just have drones who will follow orders to enshittify the site to maximise short-term returns without any pushback. As such, Bandcamp is a dead site walking.
