I'm pretty current on technology but honestly never heard of Youtube-To-MP3 conversion.
Thinking this may be the ticket to cutting the cord with Spotify, but as others have suggested, I fully intend to buy tracks of my favorite indie folks too.
Do artists actually get a decent cut from Band Camp?
Bandcamp, according to their help page, takes a 15% cut from purchases until the artist makes 5k in sales, in which case they take 10%
Bandcamp was recently sold as far as I'm aware. Also, after a recent purchase I made from them I had my credit card frauded. Can't say with 100% assurance that it was because of something going on with bandcamp, but it's my belief it was them. Something seems off from before, so I've decided to take a break from buying anything from them for a while.
They were bought by epic games recently, but I don't think it was bandcamp that stole your card info
Ah. And you're probably right. Just a coincidence.
