Isnt Lemmy proving otherwise? But yeah, keep paying Spotify because “convenience” and I’ll keep buying albums on bandcamp because it’s the only current fair option.
Epic actually sold Bandcamp to another corporation last year. I’m also quite worry, but they added a few nice features and didn’t change the revenu model , so far so good.
Yeah because the masses are brainwashed into the believing they too can be billionaire, lol. I’ll keep doing me, you and “the masses” can keep enabling Joe Rogan.
Lol, I don’t take it personally, I just don’t get what you’re doing here with that kind of resigned capitalist enabling discourse. You would be better on facebook or twitter. People like you like consumption, not music.
I use bandcamp because I like helping the artists I enjoy. Since its a small niche I prefer that most of my spending goes directly to them. Otherwise with the profits being so small they would stop making music. Sadly as you said the masses don’t care about that.
On the other hand Iappreciated that the streaming services as Spotify have helped reach more audience and made accessible to people that otherwise would have never heard of them unless maybe pirating.
I’ve followed a few artists on bandcamp as well and am grateful for the platform. On the flip side as you say reach is extensive via the other mechanisms.
I’d like to point out that in some cases it’s less a matter of preference and sometimes a budgetary constraint as to which services people gravitate toward, especially if your tastes are broad.

Let’s hope that bandcamp stays like that for a while, I’ve been worrying for it’s future since it was bought by Epic Games
DW, you can just pirate releases and throw money towards your preferred artist after the fact, that’s arguably more fair than bandcamp anyway.

We are an extremely small bubble, comparable in size to your average 2008 internet forum.
So what? It’s a user controlled platform that is convenient, proving it’s possible.
Small fee boatloads of content or small fee per music small music selection. You do you, but the masses don’t align with your approach.

Yes, keep doing you. As I said. Not sure why you’re taking this so personally.

Understood, you’re not here for discourse you’re here to proselytize and grandstand. Best of luck.
