Here you go. A single song of mine was played a MILLION times in 3 months, in 2022 (and, in later months, another 750k times), with a net gain of £33.
A million plays on streaming pays for a pizza night out for me and @silviamaggi
Took me FOUR sales on Bandcamp to reach the same amount.
So, ask me again, why quit giving out music to the techbros?

@m2m @silviamaggi thanks for posting this, Simone. I use Spotify but would love to get off it and support musicians more.
What would make me do this is a bandcamp subscription - I'd happily pay a monthly fee to stream artists from the site, but sadly this doesn't seem to be an option.
My listening habits mean I'm much more of a listener to playlists than albums.

@julianlawson @m2m @silviamaggi
baby steps.
I moved over to Tidal.fm because they pay *better* if still not enough,
but also you can buy individual tracks from Bandcamp and it sounds like they have an app you can stream with, per Asterisk.
Anyway, I recommend looking into intermediate measures.

@ProcessParsnip @julianlawson @m2m @silviamaggi Yeah, I stream my Bandcamp collection using their app; it's not bad. Now saying that, I should download everything and put it somewhere I control.
