Friends run a band professionally (aka music is their job), they say it's scammy in how they charge their fees, leading to very small or zero revenue compared to other platforms. They say Bandcamp is good at selling physical merch including vinyl, but not digital music



I have no idea what their experience is, but is absolutely not my experience on BC (selling digital music) nor that of anyone else I know.

They have the best margin-to-artist of any music distribution system I am aware of.


You say you are very tiny musician, are you actually trying to feed yourself off your music or is it just for fun mostly?
