I particulary liked this bit. It pretty much sums up the commercial world today.
Cultural theorist Cory Doctorow coined the term “enshittification” to describe the agonizing process by which online platforms shift their focus from end users to maximizing value for their shareholders.
This is the 'enshittification' link. Well worth reading
It might not be as bad as you think....Only time will tell, I suppose, but in the meantime, please read the bits I added to this this thread, which was posted yesterday...= gives more details/clarity.
One key quote from Songtradr CEO Paul Wiltshire said, “We are committed to keeping the existing Bandcamp services that fans and artists love, including its artist-first revenue share, Bandcamp Fridays and Bandcamp Daily. We are looking forward to welcoming Bandcamp into our musically aligned community. We share a deep passion for all things music and will continue to serve artists, labels and the fans who make it all possible.”
Fingers crossed that they don't ruin it. Experience says that, if they try to 'improve' Bandcamp that less will cost more. (Ever notice that when products are improved the only benificiary is the manufacturer?)
