Even buying from Bandcamp in-between Bandcamp Fridays yields more profits to the artist than Spotify. Bandcamp charges artists 10% to 15% to host their music, compared to $0.003 and $0.005 per stream on Spotify.

That's right, you'd have to play the same song 200 times minimum to earn the artist $1, and 30% of that $1 earned goes to Spotify. Worse, Spotify pays the rights holder these royalties, not the artist. So if your band has a contract with a label, the LABEL gets paid, then the artist gets a percentage of that.

This article is from 2020 but illustrates the issue with an example. The spotlighted artist earned $4200 from Bandcamp via 700 customers in two days. The same artist earned $100 from roughly six years of streaming.

Also, while you can stream from Bandcamp, you can keep your music! Download the mp3 and it's yours forever.

so many women now seem to have Fully bought into the batshit phyllis schlafly idea that women actually hold a privileged position in society and we aren't Meant to have jobs we aren't Meant to handle our own finances it's actually a privilege to be protected and provided for by men 🥺 and it's like oh my GODDDD i do not support all women some of you bitches are dumb!! read a fucking book!!! stop acting like a helpless little girl!!!

the buzzfeed girlboss era of feminism caught a lot of flack for many justifiable reasons but it's truly insane just how far we've regressed since then. like maybe manspreading discourse was silly but at least the mainstream popular view for a while was that feminism is good. now if somebody says that women should be wary about fully relying on a husband for financial support they're told they're being a misogynist and that CHOOSING to be a stay-at-home mom is totally empowering because it's a CHOICE. if you say "hey it's kinda concerning how basically every popular romance novel treats abusive men treating women terribly as something sexy and romantic" you're accused of kinkshaming and puritanism and misogyny.
