Epic had been mostly hands off with Bandcamp. Songtradr is a licensing company in the run up to an IPO, they are very likely to hit Bandcamp with the enshittification hammer hard.
Depending on what changes occur, it could really fuck with the vaporwave & barber beats genres, given they uses a lot of samples. We might have to change to using a Shopify or Bigcartel storefront. Hoping we don’t, but seeing that Songtradr wants to IPO makes me think enshittification is at hand.
Why exactly does this suck? It’s not like Epic Games was that great of a company. Idk about this company; got any links?

Ah shit. That blows.
I run a small vaporwave cassette label as a hobby, and that was my fear. I just hadn’t ever heard of that company before.
Do you sell directly from your own store?
We sell some tapes off our Bandcamp page, and have free digital downloads there.
