Article: How Bandcamp is changing the way we consume music

Bandcamp is my new favorite platform.

"On a normal Friday, Bandcamp can average around 47,000 sales. On Friday, March 20th, Bandcamp made almost 800,000 sales, or $4.3 million. They then announced that from May through July, 'Bandcamp Day' would happen on the first Friday of each month. On Friday, May 1st, Bandcamp made approximately 1.25 million sales, meaning that $7.1 million was distributed amongst artists on one Friday alone; if that can't convince you that buying music through Bandcamp is currently the most effective way to support artists, I'm not sure what will."
