Of course Spotify is popular and it may well be a demographics thing, but I wouldn't say that this describes a sample size of "nobody", or excludes everyone in America: > Fans have paid artists $619 million using Bandcamp, and $18.3 million in the last 30 days alone. And that is from Bandcamp alone. There are numerous other genre-specific sites that sell music, as well as Amazon, Google and others. I can't speak for everyone, but one of the challenges of this relatively open market is managing music bought from different stores. Who wants 5 apps to stream from all these places? Funkwhale is really designed with a more libre/open source/communal spirit, but happens to be excellent at doing this for individuals too.
