Asked whether artist revenue shares, user experience, or the editorial platform Bandcamp Daily will be affected by the acquisition, Songtradr declined to comment.

Maybe I'm being too cynical but this doesn't sound great

Could just be that they're still transitioning between the two companies and don't wanna say anything that could cause legal issues, idk

If bandcamp dies or gets ruined, i won't really have a decent site to publish music anymore. SoundCloud isn't formatted well for what I do, and I'd have to pay for a service to put me on spotify and hope I don't just get removed or whatever. Bandcamp was good for small artists who want to put out a traditional presence for marketing and sharing material.

Man, and I thought epic buying them in the first place was a bad thing. This seems worse
