A Tale Of Two Ecosystems: On Bandcamp, Spotify And The Wide-Open Future.

Spotify is now worth an estimated $54 billion on the stock market, despite having never shown an annual profit. Bandcamp is privately owned, has been in the black since 2012, and continues to grow... slowly. You might be tempted to say that one is a 21st-century business, and the other belongs to an earlier age. But neither could exist at any other time.

My take: one is for the music lovers, the other for the shareholders.
