Same here:

I feel I simultaneously

* judge authors and artists more leniently when I get to choose what to pay

* and pay more, partially just to support a good cause (I know the artist/author pockets most of it) and I guess partially to spite the big labels and make it more attractive for other artists to leave the dark side.

Yeah. It feels virtuous to pay on Bandcamp, in a way it doesn't in other places, because you know they're getting most of it and what the deal is.
