Nothing short of handing them cash in person is truly a guarantee. Really depressing how it's turned out.

Bandcamp is a decent platform… for now

Has anything really happened since they were acquired by Epic last year?

Epic sold it to a company called Songtradr, who shortly laid off a good chunk of the staff. They haven't done too much so far, but it could easily go south from here.

Faircamp might be a good avenue in the future.

That's not a guarantee either unless you know how much they spent getting in a position for you to hand them cash.
