Been thinking about the #Bandcamp news… Before they existed I bought music directly from record labels or mailorder like Midhaven/Revolver, Soleilmoon, Forced Exposure, Bleep, Boomkat, Fusetron, etc. That isn’t going to change. What makes Bandcamp special is connecting with artists, getting exposed to new music from curated editorial, or by idly checking out hashtags or what other people have in their collections. I’ve found communities here and elsewhere which fill that need quite well.
