Bandcamp

And unlike streaming sites, you own what you buy, and the artist gets paid much better; you'd have to stream the same song 200+ times with a premium Spotify account to generate the same profit for the artist as just buying the song outright on Bandcamp.

Yeah, but Bandcamp isn't an alternative to Spotify.

It's an alternative to streaming.

Sounds like it's still an alternative!
