I have got to admit I canned Spotify subs years ago - but how are they managing to grow their subscriber base whn it is now going to be £11.99 in the UK? That is way, way too high for what it offers...

Bandcamp is not banned in the UK yet. But i think the government has strong intelligence that they are a terrorist organisation.
~~Well, it's owned by friggin' Epic, now... so they're not that far off with their Intel.~~
They sold it to Songtradr in 2023, there were "layoffs", a lot of the employees involved with unionisation while Epic controlled the company were fired (in the wiki page toward the end of the history section).
Wow, that trade went by very quietly. Glad they're out from Epic at least i guess... scummy as hell behavior from Songtradr...
Yeah, was like just over a year later, they still are the independent & small label place imo, I don't have faith that'll last forever unfortunately. They still are my go to place for discovery and exploration, bandcamp daily still has some interesting finds, I just make sure I download my purchases.
