To be honest, record labels are doing a fantastic job still impoverishing artists even in the age of Bandcamp. I don’t doubt that Disney/ABC will plow some venture capital into a machinima venture, too, in the same way that the the Big Three have/had stakes in Spotify.
- throwaway290 2y agoDo you actually use Bandcamp as creator? I am friends with a music band and they say their label/distributor provides much more revenue than Bandcamp. Still not enough to live off it but if you consider that literally anyone can publish music it's not surprising.
- nxobject 2y agoMy partner does: he’s in the DIY punk scene and Had a distributor but no label, but actually makes small but consistent money off merch he screenprints himself. Especially since the margins are around 50% (and pay-what-you-can too.) Joining multiple bands to rent out a venue is very cost-effective too. The Bandcamp is there for people who don’t want a Spotify-mediated experience.
