I'm a bandcamp user and buy stuff regularly there, only because they are the lesser of all evils... but what is their current status? I thought they went bankrupt and owned by tencent?

Are they still fighting the good fight? Or heading toward enshittification?

Bandcamp was owned by Epic Games, not Tencent for a short while, and now owned by Songtradr which does not have anything to do with tencent.

At least, this is what i found.

I imagine they will inevitably enshittify since the buyout but they seem to be good still for now.

The nice thing is I get to download the files so I'm not fucked when it happens.

They are still doing the Bandcamp Fridays where everything you pay goes to the artist, so that's nice.
