all for cooperatives!
They explained what they’re trying to do, but they didn’t explain the how, and that annoyed me. Why do we have to wait for the countdown to know actual relevant information about this project?
https://resonate.coop/ is a spotify alternative which has been goin on for several years now. Support for small artists goes far, solidarity for all workers, Co-Ops represent a neccesary stepping stone towards a sustainable society so Subvert is nice to learn about :)
Bandcamp is all about indie and new technology, so I think it will be far easier to replace than Spotify, that has agreements with diverse studio records, for example.
Spotify seems to have successfully commodified music, with their emphasis on “moods” that stream you anonymous music.
I wouldn’t even bother competing with their model.
Interesting! For a platform, Bandcamp seems to pretty benign, but I’d love to see a similar website that does an even better job!
EDIT oh reading the article it seems Bandcamp isn’t as cool as I thought (I just buy music)
Maybe I’ll start buying music again
Bandcamp Friday. 100% of the money goes to the artist on the First Friday of (most) months.
I’ve got the days marked in my calendar! Next one is at the beginning of September. Already got my songs picked out waiting in my “cart” lol
That’s what I do. Find stuff over the month, give it some listens to see if it sticks, then buy baby buy. :)
You probably won’t, since Bandcamp has been available this entire time.
First of all, thanks for pretending you know me. That’s cool.
Second, I’ve been buying on bandcamp up until Epic bought it. I have principles and one of those is that I don’t support Epic.
