It's sad but how critical are those people / how many do they need? I didn't even know Bandcamp had a blog. I use it in a very simple way: I find music I want to own somewhere, check out if it's on Bandcamp, if it is, I buy it and download it to my library. If not, I have one other place to get it (a "local" eshop that also sells music for download) and then it is the high seas.
Three of the editorial employees announced that they were laid off, and they seem to have received a lot of praise from artists, small labels, and fans.
Here's the blog:

I think it really depends on the music scene. I have not once read their blog in my 13 years of using BC. I just checked it, and it’s okay, but I don’t feel like I’ll be missing something without it.
