> They are entirely different products.

Well, if you have to say it...

Was going through both of them again, and curation-wise, they're both landfills. At least on bandcamp I can search for genre/city, but for say, electronic music, you have to sift through stuff that is literally disgusting to find the gems. It's when they mix things that aren't meant to be mixed, they create that kind of dread. Good for bandcamp being profitable though, that's very good news. I'm probably just not their target market.

Bandcamp is a way to enable your existing fans to support you. They don’t really have the popularity contest or “discovery mechanisms” over there.

Soundcloud is a radio and Bandcamp is a CD shop, if you like a retro metaphor. One is Instagram, the other is Shopify. Apples and oranges. Find new fans through Soundcloud and Spotify, sell your work through Bandcamp.
