Hello there 👋

I am following the path of decreasing dependency on US products myself, and I was wondering if there is any real alternative for bandcamp? Meaning, the one that would be a proper marketplace for niche music creators, that would allow DRM-free downloads and streaming at the same time.

Bottom line: I do want to pay for music I like to support musicians, though I want to do it in a way that would allow me to listen to their work in a way I like the most.

I've been using the free trial of Qobuz for a streaming service the last few days (boycot spotify!), and after some initial struggles setting up the account, I'm pretty happy with it!

Does anyone know anything about the ethics of the company?

They pay the highest in the streaming industry apparently. 1¢-4¢ per stream depending on region and other factors. For comparison, spotify pays 0.3¢ with very exploitative thresholds to avoid playing small artists.
