That is exactly what they are going to do. Mark my words: bandcamp will be a subscription service soon, and likely will be a revenue generating click-through to Spotify or itunes or similar.
The big labels can’t STAND that we can get good music, but/own it outright, listen to it at our leisure without commercials, and share it with friend.
I encourage everyone to checkout Funkwhale. Specifically the instance I use, because I want access to your music lol.
Check out the line up of bands under the Pelagic Records label. I keep finding gems there. I never heard The Ocean Collective before recently, I’m absolutely loving their old stuff. New stuff is good too, but its a bit James Maynard/perfect circle kind of preachy.

Beyond just music, bandcamp is a great site to buy and sell (as a musician or indie label) physical merchandise.
Independent musicians and labels rely on bandcamp. Most alternatives are cost prohibitive to “small” bands.
A bunch of the small metal bands I support are only on bandcamp. Literally can not get thier music or merchandise anywhere else.
Any you could share a link to? I’m always on the hunt for new music and I love metal.
