So, for absolute clarity:

Yes, switching to decentralized, independent alternatives is important. Long-term. I'm not against it.

No, I'm not stupid, ignorant, or a sellout just because I haven't left yet. I simply have other priorities and real hurdles, for fuck's sake.

No, I won't let people who have never been in my situation tell me how to distribute my art.

And yes, I'm afraid of AI. But I'm even more afraid of a community that leaves me hanging while I'm fighting against the wall.

If you want to boycott Bandcamp – go ahead. That's your right. But please, please stop punishing us artists for still being there. Why not just ask us what we need? Offer help instead of accusations. Support us in other ways (buy directly from us, share our links, send us Faircamp tutorials, offer to help us with deployment). That would be real activism. Not this mindless shouting.
