Don't buy music you imbecile, music is free, listen for free on youtube or download it some place else.

>>131389646
It's great for deep cuts and smaller artists you probably couldn't find anywhere else. The nest albums are pwyw
>>
>>131389646
id agree with >>131391096 but if you cant find it there, then buy it, you're helping someone
>>
>>131389646
No. Do not financially support companies who do not support free speech.

I use Bandcamp a lot and have around 550 albums bought there. Its a great way to show your appreciation for smaller artists. As >>131394532 said, you should try to do it on the first friday of each month cause I understand that all the money goes to the artist and Bandcamp doesnt take any cut.
The most justifiable purchase on bandcamp is physical media (cds, cassettes, vinyl, videotapes, I even saw an artist sell his album as a 3DO disc, some people do cool shit) or merch for more niche bands you may like.
Picrel is some of the purchases I made

I liked the subtle way in which you said that anon. I tend to find everything I need in my soul, but sometimes there is music that no one has yet.

On top of the general rec to use Bandcamp, I wanna point out that it can be great for music discovery. You can follow bands, but by following fans you can find people really tapped into, say, a particular scene in their city, or who just have cool taste.

On albums without an insane number of purchases, I like to look through the libraries of the buyers listed. I take it as a promising sign if they have a few albums in common with me (particularly lesser-known stuff) but a ton of other albums I don't know. Then I'll look closer and see if it's all from a particular region or what (if I'm looking for more stuff from, say, Philly). Also good to look for people who buy often but don't buy too much, as an indicator that they have high standards when buying albums. All the fans and bands you follow will be shown on your feed page (bandcamp.com/username/feed); I check mine daily.
