And as if all that wasn't already shitty enough – here comes the cherry on top of this steaming pile: Artificial IntelligenceOh, and while we're busy fighting each other over Bandcamp and tearing each other apart, the next frontal attack is already coming from the other side. AI. Everywhere. Every day a new tool that supposedly "makes art." Text-to-image, text-to-music, voice cloning, song generators – all with one click. "Just generate yourself a song without having to play anything." "Generate your album cover, who needs an illustrator anymore?" "Clone that dead singer's voice, it's so cool!"And you know what the best part is? While we're busy accusing each other of being on the wrong platform, the tech industry is busy shitting all over our entire existence. But hey, as long as that one artist who's still on Bandcamp gets publicly cancelled while some AI corporation quietly plays with our livelihoods – all good, right?We're getting fucked from all sides right now: by the platforms that sell us out, by the AI that wants to replace us, and by our own community that gives us the rest instead of support. That's insane. We're not the enemies! We're the ones who are in this shit up to our necks! And instead of coming together, we're tearing each other apart while the AI wells are poisoning our water outside. That's not just frustrating – it's deeply sad.
