I have def been seeing the subscription thing more often, I am also unsure what the idea is there
my latest bizarre glitch was buying a gift for a friend but using an old dead email. When I tried emailing her directly it bounced immediately, but before that Bandcamp happily took my money and did not inform me the email was undeliverable, lol

I don't think a subscription model is necessarily a bad idea and I've seen some done well, but I can't imagine it's best in the long run if that's your only option.

The subscription model is just basically the Patreon business model, no?:If 1000 people like what you do enough to pay you $100 a year, you can make a living doing it.

I dropped it because it was becoming irregular but you know I’m the guy just sending vladislav delay some set amount per month because why not (there were a bunch of random projects, live sets, whatever and I regret nothing)

Yeah sex is great but have you ever gone through your Bandcamp collection and downloaded all the preorders you forgot about

Haha, I'm the opposite, waiting impatiently for the label to flip the switch on release day. And no, this doesn't always happen according to schedule

I keep my preorder zip files in a separate folder for this specific reason!

Has anyone ever received a "this album you pre-ordered just released" mail with a link that wasn't already expired?What IS the point of expiring links, even?
