Bandcamp consistently throws Ws
Surprising considers that it's parent company Epic (yes, of ~~Fortnite~~ Unreal Tournament and GoW fame) has a pro-AI stance.
Your info is a bit out of date. Epic already sold off Bandcamp back in 2023 during layoffs. Its owned by Songtradr now, who I personally know nothing about.
Short Wikipedia, so far so good for a company.
