Bandwagon Premier launches at the end of the year, selling albums will only be available for this premium subscription tier of $10/month.
This is kinda stupid? I don’t see anyone wanting to use this. If you don’t sell anything, you still have to pay. Also, as time passes, your older releases are sold less. If you don’t release anything new in a while, it makes little sense to keep being subscribed until your next release. Fees are way better, especially for small / little known artists.

Yeah… I’m not sure that’s a good monetization model… I feel like even the standard taking a small cut of every transaction is a better idea than that :/
It feels really overly punishing for small artists while being very reasonable for established larger artists, which sucks
