That is exactly what they are going to do. Mark my words: bandcamp will be a subscription service soon, and likely will be a revenue generating click-through to Spotify or itunes or similar.
The big labels can't STAND that we can get good music, but/own it outright, listen to it at our leisure without commercials, and share it with friend.
I encourage everyone to checkout Funkwhale. Specifically the instance I use, because I want access to your music lol.
Funk.gravitywell.xyz (for info, sign up)
Or
https://funk.gravitywell.xyz/library (listen to others' public libraries)
There's also an android app, albeit a little buggy.
Here's my library - https://funk.gravitywell.xyz/federation/music/libraries/9788b698-e8f1-44ac-b2d3-30501fa4ccfe
Sigh. I guess it's time to go download FLAC copies of everything I have on Bandcamp.
Goddamnit, Internet. Get your shit together.
Ownership is being dissolved completely. The only ownership left will soon be those who own us.
Or the ownership you defend. You won't like how you'll have to defend it, though.
It won't be the pen.
What are you even saying right now? You gun fanatics trip me up
Beyond just music, bandcamp is a great site to buy and sell (as a musician or indie label) physical merchandise.
Independent musicians and labels rely on bandcamp. Most alternatives are cost prohibitive to "small" bands.
A bunch of the small metal bands I support are only on bandcamp. Literally can not get thier music or merchandise anywhere else.
Any you could share a link to? I'm always on the hunt for new music and I love metal.
Check out the line up of bands under the Pelagic Records label. I keep finding gems there. I never heard The Ocean Collective before recently, I'm absolutely loving their old stuff. New stuff is good too, but its a bit James Maynard/perfect circle kind of preachy.
They aren't really a small label
