So far, there’s only a BlueSky post from someone claiming to be one of the laid-off engineers, but if confirmed, it doesn’t bode well.

Who knows. This sounds like one of those moves a company makes before looking to sell themselves off to the highest bidder.

If they’re eliminating almost all engineers, they’d be selling it for scrap, rather than as a going concern. Perhaps as AI training data to some techbros wanting to build a slop machine.

If they're sold, it'll be a Songtradr decision. Bandcamp has never been independently owned.
