I'm actually very skeptical this will last long, considering who and what owns Bandcamp, but this is good for now, but still, I sincerely do not believe this will remain. https://blog.bandcamp.com/2026/01/13/keeping-bandcamp-human/ #AI #BandCamp #Music #News

Oh absolutely! I just would never trust it completely, given some of their past shadyness. I hope they don't get a lot of people flocking over to them and then, later, suddenly going, actually you all, remember that thing we said in 2026? Well, actually, we believe AI can blah blah blah something awesome and revolutionary so we will let AI into Bandcamp fully! But that's only because I've been watching things like them busting unions, etc. https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article/bandcamp-layoffs-oakland-songtradr-epic-18429463.php @jaredwhite

SFGATE

Oakland-based, musician-loved Bandcamp gutted by 50% layoff

Bandcamp employees were “completely in the dark” as they waited to see who would get offers in a sale of the firm. Almost 60 of 118 workers are now laid off.
