I’m not sure where you got the idea that the premium service included promotion. Last I looked, the subscription simply unlocked some specific features. If you just paid for it and hoped that meant your band was going to be promoted, you threw your money away, but that hardly seems like bandcamp’s fault.

He's thinking of engagement and discovery like youtube or the old MySpace experience for independent music creators. People land on the page and discover new artists and easy discovery of new ones.

Ok, but still, that isn’t something bandcamp claims to do. How can one be upset they didn’t get that?

They do have thing that promotes music that sells to people in the network of the buyer, but it comes with fan accounts and works the same for all artists.
