Why big tech companies suck right now. Looking at you Amazon, Netflix, Uber, Spotify, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube... (sponsor was here)

It’s impossible to do that.

You’ve even mentioned Bandcamp, who sold out a couple years ago

Did they? Bummer. They were great to a band my friends were in, but that was 7-8 years ago now.

They’re good… for now. Nothing terrible has happened since their acquisition, Bandcamp Fridays are still going on and fees haven’t raised, but I feel like it’s only a matter of time. The only new feature I can think of that was added was allowing payments natively without PayPal.

After the workers tried to unionize, Epic sold it off to another company

Despite bandcamp being profitable at the time, the new owner said “the financial state of Bandcamp has not been healthy”

So I wouldn’t expect that for now to continue
