The thing is… 30% is a lot for the artists on Bandcamp.

Say I sell my album for $10 for easy math.

I think Bandcamp takes something like 10-15%, there’s a small PayPal fee (~1%) and the rest goes to me.

That’s ~$8.41 in my pocket.

If Google takes their cut at the beginning for providing…the App Store where the buyer downloaded the app… the artist’s cut becomes ~$5.89. For a $10 album.

It just doesn’t line up with the whole point of Bandcamp.

How do you feel about 10%, which is what it probably would be according to TFA?
