the next Bandcamp Friday is on May 2nd, all the money from purchases go to the artists that day, without Bandcamp taking the cut
Nice
Bandcamp is still owned by Epic Games though.
Edit: Wait, it’s worse. They just sold it to a Songtradr which immediately laid off half of the company.
Well shit. Is there anywhere to actually buy music from the artist?
Go to local shows and buy their… Shit, do they even sell CDs still? 🤔
I honestly don’t think it’s that common anymore, I’ve seen QR codes for Bandcamp or streaming more than CDs in the last 4 years or so.
Vinyl? But then the band has to have a big enough fanbase, don’t think anyone in their right mind would press 100 vinyls to only sell 10.
CDs
Yup. And if you can’t find one, you can still get most of that second hand from pages like discogs.
But Bandcamp Friday still gives all money to the artists, right? Or have they changed this?

they’ve announced how it’s going to be continued during this year just over a month ago: https://blog.bandcamp.com/2025/03/04/why-bandcamp-fridays-matter-even-if-youre-not-releasing-new-music/
Oh no. Anyway…
I already was thinking why it was so slow. I think I’m just going back to Spotify revanced. It’s not worth the soon to be 15 euro per month.
15€. I was shocked when it went above 10.
I was wrong, going to 13 euro per month for individual.
Wait, where? I pay 8.99 for duo, I hope this isn’t global.

Qobuz is better anyway
Jellyfin is even better.
