I already posted this with my second account earlier, but here it is again in the full long version because this topic just won't let me go and I feel like some people here have completely lost sight of reality.

Look, let's start at the very beginning: Yes, I 100% understand that what's currently happening with Bandcamp is absolutely shit. We're talking about a platform that, for years, was the last remaining safe haven for independent music – and now it's being swallowed up piece by piece by a corporation that couldn't give less of a fuck about our art. The frustration isn't just justified, it's necessary. And I'm totally on your side with that, really.

But. (there is alway a but...)
