I never stopped but i started buying music too from small artists
I feel like Bandcamp's biggest fans are prolific pirates with a conscience who just want to see their favorite artists actually get paid.
EDIT: Don't forget it's Bandcamp Friday today.
bandcamp sold out
look forward to its demise

The economics with the artists haven't changed. Until they do I'll still use them to pay artists a living wage.
