- Watching everyone go apeshit over Bandcamp Friday as usual, and watching friends and fellow musicians make a ton of sales, is definitely a gut punch. But I stand by pulling all my bands' shit from the platform. Sometimes you have to sacrifice to stand up for what you believe in.
- And yes, I'm aware of how infinitely shitty a whole bunch of other platforms are as well. It's not possible to fight every single battle and cut your *whole* fucking nose off to spite your face. BC was the battle I picked for a few reasons, and am making arguably the biggest sacrifice over.
- It's always hard to take a vocal stand about various issues as a small business in the middle of THE Trumpiest state in the US. But this year, I very much woke up and chose violence. Check back on me in a year to make sure I'm not homeless, lmao.
- Friendly reminder that #Bandcamp is no longer the company it used to be, and has fallen to enshittification just like all the rest. They're a shit company with shit ethics and plenty of artists have now either left the platform or made their shit free over there to avoid giving them $$$.
