Guarantee you these are lots of bootlegs and other-region copies behind resold. So probably Amazon is worst for the artists because even the labels are getting cheated there.

As I understand it, this is (was?) one of the few places an artist could still get a good deal. Bandcamp positions itself more as a marketplace and takes (iirc) 16ish percent. Let me check that against their website:
"when a fan buys something on Bandcamp, an average of 82% of the money goes to you" (https://bandcamp.com/artists?from=footer https://bandcamp.com/artists?from=footer)
So yeah, they get a lot of the niche weird music. I buy a lot of NWOTHM music off there for this reason.
- diggan 2y agoAlso, Bandcamp has "Bandcamp Fridays" (or similar name), where for the entire day, 100% goes to the artists. I keep a list of music that I add to when I come across something I want to buy, then when the Bandcamp Friday comes around, buy everything on the list.

- Semaphor 2y agoNot normally a big fan of the genre, but in case you missed it, there was the slightly proggy, slightly powery trad release last year that exploded in popularity (relative terms, 281 Bandcamp buys which is more than most of the music I buy :D) earlier this year: Mother's Guilty Pleasure Part One by Noor https://noorband.bandcamp.com/album/mothers-guilty-pleasure-part-one https://noorband.bandcamp.com/album/mothers-guilty-pleasure-...
