This is the best answer! Thank you for sharing your methods. I was going to reply about the daily editorial, but yours is more complete.

I would also like to add that I type the name of things I like and often find them on bandcamp. Including big artists.

Peter Gabriel, Evanescence, Run the Jewels, Flight of Conchords, Ghost...

What I don't find there, I get from a thrift store (easy to find famous artists there) or quobuz.

That doesn't really work in my experience because artists seem to be incapable of tagging their work correctly.

This, I think, is the best way. You start to recognise people that are buying all the same stuff you like so follow them and periodically have a look at what they are buying.

All other avenues on bandcamp are a bit shit IMO. Tags are dog shit because artists never tag their work correctly and my feed will constantly be old shit I listened to a long time ago. You can't even rely on it to let you know when artists you follow release new work.

I love bandcamp but I also fucking hate bandcamp xD

c. Find a few shows/presenters that play music/genres you like and they should play local artists that you might not have heard.

I love option c. I've been going to the music shop and buying stickers, then looking up the bands whose stickers i've bought and going to their shows. most of the bands are, uh, well the bands i was in at that age sucked and they're a little better than we were. but like $5 concerts, you can't be mad even if the music sucks
