I think about deleting my SoundCloud account because it works against my bandcamp shop.

What are your opinions on selling music?

You can make SC streaming only & direct them to BC to purchase.
Since you can stream on BC, it does seem redundant though

I personally maintain both because I see them as different audiences. Same with YouTube. The way I think about it is to use Bandcamp as a sort of "hub" for music where people are able to buy. Everywhere else is just for streaming and will link people back to the Bandcamp (when possible). Might as well put your music in as many places as possible to increase exposure, right?

Given how many people listen to music today (subscription streaming services), I don't think Bandcamp is working against anything. Instead, Bandcamp is there as an option for those people who really want to support your music by buying it. Patreon is another option for this, and the two don't have to be mutually exclusive.

Of course, you probably can't be sure that what you describe is or isn't happening. To ensure it's not, you would have to make your music available ONLY on Bandcamp, which to me seems counterproductive. Again, might as well put it in as many places possible!

SC will delete your account for a very reasonable termination fee

sometimes it felt like a company's trademark belonged to the community, that was once upon a time.
distrokid might be a more flattering alternative https://distrokid.desk.com/customer/en/ ... s/articles
