    I buy albums if I really l Iike them since I enjoy listening to the same thing multiple times, especially so as I’m getting older and have disposable income. But the amount of 50cent* albums on Bandcamp would probably keep me content for a long long while.

    *You need to pay at least 50 cents for a “name your price” album to get it downloadable in the Bandcamp app

      Yeah, I actually spent a good amount on bandcamp over the few months I’ve cancelled all streaming services, but I saw an album I heard on a web radio that I wanted to check out from a tiny artist, too small for piracy, like 2k listens on their most popular song, but it was over $20 on Bandcamp.

      It’s their right, and for the first time in a very long time - I just had no real alternative to get it, it was weird having heard music and not been able to acquire it, but I wasn’t gonna pay that much money, I could buy groceries for the week with that! So I just… didnt get it. And to my shock - I was fine, about an hour later i just forgot all about it and listened to something else.
