I've heard of Bandcamp, but I still have no idea what it is.
It's a site where you can listen to artists music before purchasing (from a few songs to entire albums). There are physical and/or digital downloads and the artists get 85% (100% on Bandcamp Fridays). Downloads are available in MP3, flac, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, ALAC, Wav, AIFF. I bought somewhere around 6300 albums so far.I've heard of Bandcamp, but I still have no idea what it is.
Not really, it's mostly a place to listen to/buy music (and find new music), and the artists get a bigger cut from Bandcamp than any other service. There's not really an ongoing subscription kinda model like Patreon. Some albums may be pay what you like, or pay what you like above X, or just a set price. I've been buying music there since 2012-I think it's like Patreon but less for art and more for music? I honestly dunno, never heard of them before Epic bought them.

There are some subscriptions. My longest running are for Ripple Music and Magnetic Eye Records. I get a digital download for all the albums they release - definitely got my moneys worth from Ripple (also offers a discount on physical merch).Boo, I'm sure they will inevitably screw it up in some fashion.

Huh, interesting, haven't seen that. Most of the folks I'd subscribe to do already have a Patreon as wellThere are some subscriptions.
