Back in the 70's as a child when I collected vinyl I used to enjoy the extras you got from an LP, the accompanying LP sized booklets, posters etc & reading about how the album was made. I never did have a decent turntable, more a "record player" so when CD came out, the sound quality improved (for me) but buying music lost some of its magic in a way, thumbing through a CD sized book didn't feel the same.
So Bandcamp just allows me to conveniently & cost effectively buy music & be listening to it in minutes as I really don't miss having a physical CD anymore.
Plus Bandcamp occasionally has downloads in 24bit flac.
The downside is it's another nail in the coffin of the local record store, we don't have any small independents near us anymore, they're all gone.
