As someone who heavily uses Bandcamp both as an artist and a fan, I am still dedicated to the platform. However there has been a decent amount of enshittification recently - now they are pushing artists to switch from PayPal (bad) to Stripe (worse) for artist payouts.
Why is Stripe worse you ask? Well the first thing they ask you to do is give them full access to your online banking through your primary bank when you set up an account.
