    Bandcamp is better than Spotify - Ampwall is better than Bandcamp. It’s artist owned (developed by Chris from the non-fash Black Metal band Woe). The fees are much, much lower than Bandcamp.

      Interesting. Haven’t heard of this one but from their FAQ and writing it sounds interesting.

      Not sure if a subscription fee for artists will work. Bigger ones can certainly afford it.

      The main problem as I see it now is what any new platform has: getting people to use it.

      Bandcamp has “Bandcamp Fridays” when 100% of the sales go to the artists. The next ones are on October 3rd and December 5th.

      Problem is ampwall basically has a non viable business model beyond it’s current scale. So it’s likely to never really replace other options. It’s good to have around tho.

      In the Ampwall business model the artists pay to upload their music but listening is free.

      Sounds fine for hobby musicians, but not for anyone professional.
