“According to Bandcamp, under its revenue model artists receive net an average of 82% of every sale.”
Bandcamp was the one music store that paid artists most of the money and never needed a rescue. Epic now owns it, terms undisclosed, as part of a “creator marketplace ecosystem.” Every acquired indie platform gets the same promise of standalone operation. The 82% figure is the thing to watch, because a buyer that size did not pay for a business that stays small.
