Epic bought bandcamp many moons ago. Did they enshittify it or is it still going strong?

Epic actually sold Bandcamp 3 years ago. I only started using it lately so I can't say how it was before, but I think it's still good.

Unfortunately bandcamp laid off virtually all of their engineers a month or so back: https://www.hypebot.com/new-bandcamp-layoffs-why-artists-are...

So, not enshittified, but either abandoned or headed for ensloppification.

Did they only recently release access to a new streaming API or did I dream that (again)?

I've been using it sporadically over the past 10+ years and have not noticed any major changes, at least for my limited use.

Thanks, I did some digging. My biggest issue is Andrew Jervis not running Bandcamp Weekly anymore. I loved that show :(
