Listeners want the convenience of Spotify and don’t care about artists or even know what Bandcamp is, let alone something after Bandcamp. I’m an indie artist and I want things to be different but until you convince people to give up convenience for principles, projects like this won’t mean much.

Let the shit music exist on Spotify, if you value your take control of it, throwing it into the void and prostrating yourself on social media begging people to listen to it is not doing yourself or your art justice!

Fair enough. Genuinely asking, how do people who have never heard of you find your music if not through Spotify or social media?

Yeah and unfortunately it's brutal and pays very little, essentially you make more money from selling merch.

So essentially your music is just advertising for you to be able to sell merch LOL!
