Fans spent $4.3 million on Bandcamp during last Friday’s artist fundraiser
Last Friday, Bandcamp waived its service fee on sales for a day, putting more money in the pockets of musicians who have been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. According to a statement from Bandcamp today, fans spent $4.3 million over the day, with over 800,000 pieces of music and merch sold on the site. "That’s more than 15 times our normal Friday," the company said in a statement, "and at the peak, fans were buying 11 items per second."
