This is pretty exciting
They explained what they're trying to do, but they didn't explain the how, and that annoyed me. Why do we have to wait for the countdown to know actual relevant information about this project?
Exactly! I'm all for it, but why the secrecy instead of transparency from the start? Maybe those 80% of people have some initial advantage.
Interesting! For a platform, Bandcamp seems to pretty benign, but I'd love to see a similar website that does an even better job!
EDIT oh reading the article it seems Bandcamp isn't as cool as I thought (I just buy music)
https://resonate.coop/ is a spotify alternative which has been goin on for several years now. Support for small artists goes far, solidarity for all workers, Co-Ops represent a neccesary stepping stone towards a sustainable society so Subvert is nice to learn about :)
Bandcamp is all about indie and new technology, so I think it will be far easier to replace than Spotify, that has agreements with diverse studio records, for example.
Spotify seems to have successfully commodified music, with their emphasis on "moods" that stream you anonymous music.
I wouldn't even bother competing with their model.
Nice! With both Bancamp and 7digital being sold to some licensing company, apparently the same one even, I've been looking for a new place to get my digital music. Hope this works out for them!
