Fair enough! Depends what you're into of course but I have found many older, established artists on the platform. The kind of artists you'd expect to be exclusively beholden to major corporate record labels. Bandcamp is 100% a streaming service, but that's just one part of the service it offers. Bandcamp allows you to make mixed playlists from your purchased titles that you can stream.
I think the site's operational model is the minimum required to support music creation as a career for human beings. Spotify cannot support any artist that doesn't already have a following of millions. Whereas Bandcamp can provide a living income to an artist with a following of about a thousand up. In this way Spotify and co are a rip-off to both consumers and creators. The monthly cost is low for the consumer, sure, but this is at the expense of the economic future of the industry it depends upon.
Any distribution platform that damages the viablity of the product it sells in the process of providing that product to it's customers is a problem, in my opinion.
