my 13 years at bandcamp are coming to an end - i’ve been laid off along with most of the remaining engineers. best job i’ve ever had, working with the best people you could ever work with. unceremonious end to quite a ride.

So far, there’s only a BlueSky post from someone claiming to be one of the laid-off engineers, but if confirmed, it doesn’t bode well.

    Yikes, that’s not great. At least for the moment seems like Bandcamp is still going but actions like this don’t bode well for the future.

    I don’t mind buying FLACs at Qobuz but they feel way less indie centric IMO, not sure if all the smaller acts I follow are even on there. Subvert (https://www.subvert.fm/) did launch as a Bandcamp alternative but it might take a while before it catches on.
