Most of the article is unrelated to music but Bandcamp being sold to Songtradr is big news

This is weird. Literally yesterday I was wondering when Epic would kill Bandcamp by making it streaming-only or some shit.

They are likely making considerable amount of money on taking a cut of merch sales like physical records and apparel. If not then it's still fairly hassle-free. Layoffs at marketing could mean that they don't see much room for growth and that's what business is about these days.
