    TL;DR for the linked article


    Click to expand

    The author urges calm and support for artists in light of Bandcamp being acquired by a new owner. While no major changes have occurred yet under the new owners, their focus on marketing and licensing deals raises potential concerns about exploitation of artists. The author acknowledges concerns about platform changes but asks that the well-being of artists be prioritized over calls to jump to other platforms prematurely. No alternative currently provides the same level of support and ease of use for both artists and listeners. The author encourages supporting artists in the ways they request and finding solutions that allow artists to focus on creation over platform management.

    Overall, the post calls for balancing concerns over the platform with support for the artists it currently benefits.
