Oh no, through this article I found out about Bandcamp's enshittification. I like that Website to obtain music...

[-] ominouslemon@lemm.ee 18 points 8 months ago

OK I read the bandcamp thing and... It's not enshittification at all. Can we stop applying the term to every online service that kinda gets slightly worse for some reason or another?

Just in case:

Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification

None of those things happened with Bandcamp

As of today, the revenue share is still the same as before the last acquisitions, right? The entry requirements are the same and the discovery tools aren't worse? If so, and the issue is with the layoffs and unionization, that's true for countless other companies, especially in gaming.

Bought by Epic Games and sold a year and a half later 😩

Yeah, but I still post links to Bandcamp, even though they've gone down that path. One day they'll cross the line, and I'll start posting links to other services.

Oh shit. Are there any alternatives?

Faircamp is being worked on. No ActivityPub but the developer is considering it
