In order to support the artist... When you purchase a song on Bandcamp, you typically pay about $1. The majority of this amount goes directly to the artist, with only 15% going to Bandcamp. To achieve a similar level of support on Spotify, you would need to listen to a song approximately hundreds of times just to gift them that dollar. Keeping these figures in mind, it's worth considering the impact of your support the next time you come across a new favorite track. Those dollars add up! Spotify links are provided only as a last resort. Plus, their url's 're ugly.
