it sounds like the writers for the bandcamp reviews/etc are either laid off or bailing, which sucks

Thread for awesome stuff on Bandcamp that costs money but is still awesome

Damn, if they lose the editorial side, that's a huge loss and a bad sign.

Epic is doing layoffs with its remaining companies but is anyone saying they've been laid off from Bandcamp yet?

i think they just sold it off, rather than axe personnel

does anyone else have a bad feeling that bandcamp is just going to die by a thousand cuts and be left in the ether like myspace? i have a few albums i want to put out next year, and the thought of uploading them there just feels like dumping into a void to me. am i too pessimistic about this? i'd rather just make CDs and ship them out, but i also don't want to limit access or be awkward about it...

I wouldn't stop uploading to Bandcamp (all my stuff is on there) but I'd start looking at similar alternative sites as well.

Gotta love the new Bandcamp:
Subtotal: 2.00Additional fan contribution: 3.00Revenue share (15%): -0.75Applied to your revenue share balance*: -3.94Payment processor fee (PayPal): -0.31Your share: $0.00 USD
How can we have a 'revenue share balance' if they take their cut right off the top anway? Bullshit

that is not a new bandcamp thing though, i see it in payments as early as 2015

i dont understand why, but for physical sales they dont take the revenue share cut on the actual transaction, they bill it against future digital sales

Maybe because they're not involved in fulfillment? Whereas with digital they're in charge of everything

No idea how big of a YouTuber this guy is (and how that would skew the numbers) but that’s a pretty decent alternative to streaming.
It’s been 6 months since I removed my music from all music streaming platformsI’ve independently released 3 new albums direct to consumer since thenHere’s where we are today👇🏽Bandcamp: $4,471Even: $4,087.66Website: $3,082Total = $11,640.66Equivalent to 3.4 m streams— Curtiss King 🏁🛠 (@CurtissKing) May 23, 2024

Having to produce 66 albums a year is hard work, though.

Fuck, 6, not 66.
