Comment on Why I Ditched Spotify, and How I Set Up My Own Music Stack

Friendly alert that it’s currently Bandcamp Friday - one full day that the site gives 100% of purchases to the artists. It’s a good way to support small artists and build up a personal collection.

That’s some bullshit right there. Every day should be Bandcamp Friday. I understand charging a small 1-3% fee to cover server costs, but nothing more. Otherwise Apple is just another evil record label profiting off of peoples’ talent.

From what I can find, BC takes 15% for most sales, 10% for high-sellers. Dunno if that’s good or bad, but it seems low to me.

id say it’s quite good, storage and distribution can get expensive

It’s certainly lower than the 20-30% game distribution platforms take.
I can pretty much guarantee the server & staff costs are more than 1% of sticker price, especially since BC includes streaming services.
