    Are Bandcamp still the good guys? I thought they were bought by the big capital and now went down the drain. Artists’ opinions especially welcome

      I don’t bought a lot of music, but all the independent musicians I follow have a bandcamp store. They also sell merch there.

      People expected them to get fucked after the acquisition, though the new owners are just going “you keep doing what you’re doing, not gonna change a thing, just give us a cut of your profits”

      Touch wood, it’s gonna stay that way.

      on average, i’m earning 3x as much from bandcamp FLAC sales compared to what i earn off streaming. Hasn’t been ruined so far.
