      Thats not their model, and that model also sucks ass for supporting other humans.

      I am one of those weirdos who likes to own my media. There are few of us geezers left, but luckily enough that bandcamp exists.

        Just because the Spotify model sucks doesn’t mean it has to.

        I don’t see a reason why 85% of a monthly subscription couldn’t given directly to the artists you actually listen to, and any albums your purchase is on the platform (and you get to keep the drm-free files).

        Honestly it kinda sounds like an awesome service.

        Edit: I’m one of those geezers too, who prefers to own my music. I just think there’s room for both.

          I agree. Probably not profitable to the company though. Gotta keep those server costs covered…

          It’d be nice if people could make a living off art but capitalism is against that at every turn especially now. Art shouldn’t even be related to money in some people’s opinions .
