It's soon to be Bandcamp Friday again, and once again I'm finding myself going through Bandcamp's own editorials, such as this list of Best Metal Albums of August:
https://daily.bandcamp.com/best-metal/the-best-metal-on-bandcamp-august-2026
… skipping all the US-based bands for now, and looking the others up on Qobuz for a preview. One or two might end up in my wishlist for the next Bandcamp Friday.

Why do things this way? Well, artists don't get paid for streams on Bandcamp - that site is strictly a store and streaming is there to help make sales. But if I stream on Qobuz, they get paid a little for that. Also, Qobuz streams get scrobbled so they get extra visibility on places like last.fm. It's not a lot but it's better than nothing.
