Hello there 👋
I am following the path of decreasing dependency on US products myself, and I was wondering if there is any real alternative for bandcamp? Meaning, the one that would be a proper marketplace for niche music creators, that would allow DRM-free downloads and streaming at the same time.
Bottom line: I do want to pay for music I like to support musicians, though I want to do it in a way that would allow me to listen to their work in a way I like the most.
They pay the highest in the streaming industry apparently. 1¢-4¢ per stream depending on region and other factors. For comparison, spotify pays 0.3¢ with very exploitative thresholds to avoid playing small artists.
