I agree. But I prefer the Bandcamp model over the Patreon model.
Bandcamp allows musicians to provide their music with a free and pay-what-you-want option. This way all people have access to the music, regardless of their ability to pay. And the people that are able to pay can support artists with a one-time-payment.
Patreon puts a huge burden on musicians to regularly release music, imho. But that’s not how independent music works. Sometimes there will be months or even years without new releases, while the artists are on tour or in the studio.
Yeah an option for both would be great. Free and pay what you want with the option of recurring donations. Would be great if it wasnt only for music like how itch has games and software and zines
