I've been running this experiment for one and a half years now, and so far it's been a net positive decision. It might not work as well for people who mostly listen to mainstream artists that release exclusively on major record labels. But as I listen to 95% independent releases, that Bandcamp approach serves me really well.
I hadn't really considered how significantly this might shape the music I listen to. Will be an interesting few months. Never been one for lists (says the guy writing a listicle...), but might start keeping some type of monthly overview, so I can track how my listening changes.
Happy New Year and LOVE The Sorcerers!
HNY!
