After the fall of Small Press Distribution, is it time for “Bandcamp for Small Presses?”

[Dear Friends, before I post this somewhere, probably Medium, in the hopes of getting as many eyeballs as possible to look at this, would you be so kind as to look this over and offer some constructive criticism before I post it? And is there some way that the folks on BookWyrm have the option to see this?]...

I absolutely love Bandcamp. When I want an album and it’s on Bandcamp, I buy it there. I’ve discovered amazing artists there as well. Unfortunately, I don’t know to what extent Bandcamp has a future. It’s been bought by Epic, then bought again by Songtradr, then half the employees were fired. Bandcamp is fighting a war against the streaming model, about culture as a commodity. It’s an uphill battle. I think this sort of model needs to be supported by some sort of coop or non profit or something. The goal needs to be to bring change, help out and break even, not to profit the stockholders.

To the surprise of no one, the right spread climate denial misinformation. I can’t say there’s much to be learned from this article. Furthermore the needlessly inflammatory (and arguably inaccurate) headline makes it clear the intent here is to preach to the choir.

Patriarchy theory is not valid theory of men’s struggles ( kbin.social )

“Patriarchy” is a floating signifier. It has no clear meaning. Indeed, it means whatever is convenient for it to mean in any given context. “Patriarchy” is furthermore a thought-terminating cliche. Instead of carefully thought out social analysis the Patriarchy is deployed as a non-explanation....

Seriously though, I hope this post gets taken down. This is a small community, downvotes don’t bury anything. It’s typical Petersonian propaganda that tries to argue against what is stated in the sidebar by flaunting abstract wordings, accusatory misogyny and straw men. If this stays up I’m so out.
