So far, there’s only a BlueSky post from someone claiming to be one of the laid-off engineers, but if confirmed, it doesn’t bode well.

But bandcamp will stay?
Who knows. This sounds like one of those moves a company makes before looking to sell themselves off to the highest bidder.
If they’re eliminating almost all engineers, they’d be selling it for scrap, rather than as a going concern. Perhaps as AI training data to some techbros wanting to build a slop machine.
I though layoff happen by the new orders rather than the orevious owner laying off then a new company buy it
If they’re sold, it’ll be a Songtradr decision. Bandcamp has never been independently owned.
They have been sold too many times already. I guess they still have a few people to take care of their radio feature, but firing engineers makes me think that it will die soon.
