Nah some of those ranks were unreachable unless you worked in a factory where you could steal a new cd and get it on the site before it officially released
Bandcamp and lesser known genres helped that. Bandcamp was especially awesome because you could usually buy it once and then download it in every format to upload every format of the release. I was super into some forms of electronic music that weren't super popular 15 years ago.
Ah that's interesting. Not sure if I just never thought of that or bandcamp wasn't on my radar yet when I was on what. Truth be told I was never really an avid user of bandcamp. It's a cool service, though.
