Now did you know bandcamp unionized shortly before they were sold off?

whaaaat, when did epic buy bandcamp?? I think the end game of these decades of corpo buyouts is going to be every single corporate entity across all sectors buying eachother out until all that remains is one super-corporation. Were getting close to there already.
