Oh I know. It's a shell of what it used to be, but Bandcamp Fridays still happen and artists have confirmed that they're getting full payouts for them.

It's terrible what they've done to former staff (laying them off) and current staff (making them do more with less) but currently it's one of the few ways to ensure the money still makes it to artists. The ownership of the company hasn't impacted that part of the ethos of Bandcamp... yet. I'm sure the day will come when there is the final Bandcamp Friday, but it isn't here yet.
