Do artists make money from Bandcamp?

Still privately owned, Bandcamp has managed to turn a profit while giving 80-90% of their revenue to artists every year since 2012. Bandcamp appears to be the rare music industry player informed first and foremost by the musicians.

How much of a cut does Bandcamp take?

Why does Bandcamp take a cut?

Who runs Bandcamp?

Ethan Diamond
When Ethan Diamond founded Bandcamp in 2008, he imagined it an alternative to MySpace: an easy-to-use website where bands could interact with fans and sell music. Bandcamp would take care of the fiddly stuff – transcoding music into different formats, payments, analytics – and take a 15% cut of every sale.
