Is bandcamp a good fit for Steem?

I have written about bandcamp before, but I think it is worth bringing up again. If you do not know, it is a service to sell music that gives at least 80% of the money to the artists. I believe that is more than most such services. They allow the artists to set their prices and even allow customers to choose how much they pay. As well as digital downloads they also allow for selling of physical media.

You can generally stream the music before you pay so you can get a real taste. They do not tend to have bands and artists who are on the radio every day, but there is a vast selection of great music. You can see on my profile that I have bought about 50 items. Some of my favourite artists such as The Fierce and the Dead (instrumental rock) and Big Big Train (classic English prog) have just about all their music on there. I have been able to get signed CDs from some of them by paying a little extra. I do like having my own copy for certain things, but I will buy downloads too.

CDs

They have an embeddable player, but it does not seem to work on Steemit or Busy or I would be using it in this post. Go to the site and look around to hear some music. The sites need to support more media.

What I would really like is to be able to buy music directly for #Steem. I have spent some Steem on music via my Wirex Debit Card. I would think this company would be a good fit as artists could be posting here to earn more. Niche acts can have loyal fans who will want to support them in any way they can. Being able to earn just by posting and interacting with fans ought to be attractive when every penny counts, but I can understand that they have to focus their efforts where they get the most benefit.

I know people like Hive account@birdinc (from Steemit Inc) and Hive account@starkerz (from Hive account@oracle-d) are talking to businesses to get them to work with and invest in Steem. Maybe this could be another candidate.

Of course one thing that would help to bring them here is a larger audience. I see figures of around 45,000 active accounts, but I suspect a lot of those are 'bots' of various types. Music needs human listeners. This is part of the reason I kicked of the Ten thousand minnows project. We need lots more people using and earning Steem that they could be spending. I think we need a vibrant economy and not just speculation.

I know some other Steemians who use Bandcamp such as Hive account@hockney, Hive account@katharsisdrill and Hive account@shortcut. I think the only music I have bought after discovering the band on Steem was by Seine frm Slovenia. Band members Hive account@marinauzelac , Hive account@bonvivan , Hive account@grobens and Hive account@dimitrij do not seem so active now, but maybe they are touring or recording. Do you know of Steemians who use it? I have thought that I ought to make some decent recordings of my own music and get it on there, but would anyone buy it?

So should the Steem community be reaching out to Bandcamp? Should we be talking to the artists to get them on board first? If you know any who need an account then I have some to give away.

BTW I bought some more @SteemBasicIncome shares for some potential minnows today. Hive account@comiccat, Hive account@lordvdr, Hive account@curatorcat, Hive account@eugelys should get some small extra votes if they stay active.
