        At the same time, Epic is divesting itself of Bandcamp, a deeply strange acquisition in the first place. It’s being sold to Songtradr.

        Not today, monkey’s paw.

        In the not too distant future:

        Today we’re announcing we’re ending support for Bandcamp and merging it to YouTube music….

      I might be jaded, but I’d wager that whoever buys it, is going to be worse than having Epic as a rich daddy who is focused on and making money through his core business and doesn’t really know what to do with Bandcamp. Entities that buy it are almost certainly going to squeeze harder at the expense of user experience.

        Why don’t we buy it?

        Could this be a kickstarter?
