Welp, almost 50% of #Bandcamp staffers were laid off today. The #enshittification button push was inevitable as I said. https://nitter.unixfox.eu/modernistwitch/status/1713962311579234428

It surely didn't take too long for #EpicGames and #Songtradr to say "Fuck the Bandcamp workers for our bottom lines!"
I'm sure @bandcampunited has tons to say about this in due time.
Support them!!

  about half of my colleagues at #Bandcamp just got laid off, after Epic Games sold us to Songtradr a few weeks ago so if your company has any vacancies and you want to hire compassionate and highly-driven people, especially in any musical or altruistic tech businesses, please share your links and I'll pass them along
