When COVID-19 pulled the rug out from under live music in March, Bandcamp responded by passing along its usual share of revenue to artists and labels for a 24-hour period. As the pandemic wore on, the website did this eight more times, establishing the first Friday of the month as “Bandcamp Friday.” Customers were incentivized to buy music when they knew more of their money would reach the people they were trying to supports, and they spent a total of $40 million on those nine days.
