Again, what "proceeds"? Consider this: for Bandcamp Friday (although apparently this will continue), Damon & Naomi made their latest album,
A Sky Record (a trio effort, really, with the great Michio Kurihara) available for a name-your-price - with a caveat: "Available for free, but only if enough voluntarily pay something will Bandcamp continue to provide the credits to keep this going". Just a few hours ago they sent out this message:

You all are amazing, we have now earned more this last week from Bandcamp than we did all year on Spotify - thank you! And the new album is free/pay-as-you-wish, like the rest of our catalogue:

Whether you're a musician trying to raise money for a cause or simply struggling to survive, choose a distribution vehicle that won't mail you a cheque for ten cents (or at least leave the shitty one as your second or third source of, um, "income").
