Having all of your pessimistic fears validated is not a great feeing! Vulture is reporting Bandcamp Hit With Layoffs Amid Sale to Songtradr and that's pretty much what everyone thought was going to happen. The article has all the necessary details but it looks like about 50% of the company was let go and only three editorial staff remain.

I've been a huge Bandcamp fan since 2008; fifteen years is a long time to be a fan of a service and not have them screw it up royally! Maybe that time has come to an end.

Doing my best to be optimistic on this one but layoffs of this size are not a good look.
