They also have Bandcamp Fridays, where 100% of the revenues go to the artist. Personally I always wait till those days to buy music on there

May be worth mentioning that it's not every Friday that this happens. I was under the impression that it was, and would have accidentally made a purchase on a random Friday if I had not looked further into it because I wanted to check which time zone was used for the cutoff.

The remaining 2025 dates:

  • May 2nd
  • August 1st
  • September 5th
  • October 3rd
  • December 5th

That is entirely true, sorry if my previous comment was ambiguously worded.
