OnlyFangs has made 'World of Warcraft' into Twitch's best soap opera

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.

Do 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.

My 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.

DIY punk, there is such a genre?
