minus-squaredudesss@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 day agoI agree, fuck Bandcamp, so I only buy on Bandcamp Fridays.
minus-squarespizzat2@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·edit-21 day agoSo… What’s a good alternative?
minus-squareKMAMURI@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-21 day agoDirect purchase, like the old days and fuck corporate greed so torrents.
minus-squaredudesss@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 day agoI wish this was simpler. I never see direct purchases on band websites unless I’m buying physical goods.
minus-squareKMAMURI@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-21 day agoGotta start asking for it. If the bands you enjoy know that people would buy physical or digital copies from the artist again they would begin making them. It only benefits the entertainers.
minus-squaremrdown@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 day agoHow many artists still offer direct purchases?
minus-squareKMAMURI@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 day agoEvery single one I have ever contacted and asked. If they’re on a label and it’s controlled by a company it’s high seas time.
minus-squareMonkeyBrawler@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 day agoLike Bandcamp or not, i can’t ever find the bands i’m looking for.

“Waives” instead of “waves”
