Tech companies and their executives have, broadly, moved to align themselves with investors and adopted a posture of, often, disdain or outright hostility towards their users and employees. If tech companies don't value you, why provide value to them? If they back political positions hostile to your interests, why not return that hostility?
I listen mostly to progressive metal, which is kinda niche, and I’ve found pretty much anything I went looking for. Not sure about indie acts in general. Try browsing their download store - my only gripe with them is that the UI is pretty bad. The service is solid, though.
Also, seeing as they are DRM-free downloads, you could use Qobuz as a supplement to bandcamp for bands that are not on bandcamp, or vice versa :)
Good idea! Yaah, the UI is rather 1999 but NGL, it’s basic and people with older hardware and OSes can navigate it easily enough.
Prog metal? Oooo, that sounds interesting1 What bands are you listening to?
I was on bandcamp for a while last night dipping into a bunch of new stuff. One of my favorite electronica musicians - Amon Tobin - just dropped a new album under his old (30+years) name, “Cujo” and I’m in heaven!
