Spotify: 25000 people listened to your album, we’ll never tell you who they are and how they found you! Here’s $1.74.
Bandcamp: 30 people bought your album and left a comment! Here’s $250.

@snaggen @mnl You pay once and have access always. If you want to listen and don't care about supporting the artists you might as well pirate.
@mnl What are the upsides for me as a consumer? Why should I switch from Spotify to Bandcamp? Genuinely curious.
@snaggen @mnl There's really not that much choice involved, depending on where and how you want your music career to go, but sure.
@pettter @mnl I understand that it's about actually owning your music, and old as I am I actually do that already for my personal preference.
However, comparing Spotify to piracy is quite a stretch, since the artists publish it there by choice. How much money they make from it is not relevant. By your reasoning, there is no difference between FLOSS and piracy, since you are not supporting the authors. It is just a flawed argument.
But, I get your point.
