You'll hate to hear what is currently happening with Bandcamp.
Can you elaborate? I can find articles that say there have been layoffs but what does that mean for the platform and how it supports the artists? Is it basically dead and not worth using anymore? I want the large majority of my money to go to the artist not the label or platform shareholders, is there something similar to bandcamp in that regard? Don't suggest physical media please a lot of artist either don't make any or are extremely difficult to find and buy.
They were bought last year by epic games. Now they were sold to songtradr, probably because it wasn't profitable enough for EPiC. As part of that more than half the people were let go.
They'll want their money's worth, so prices fo up, or in this case the percentage cut. My bet is also the enshitification is starting soon. For now it's fine, the future, probably not. But that's just my guess.
As for alternatives, I've got none.
