True, but I think Bandcamp functions more as a "store where you can stream" vs. strictly being a "streaming platform". Granted, you can just stream on Bandcamp, but that's part of the place where you can directly buy music and physical merch from the artist. I think that approach, where the streaming is a promotional tool for the purchase, kind of makes the difference.

Nick Fuentes’ “America First” podcast removed by spotify

Nick Fuentes as a creator is not banned and can still appear as a guest on other Spotify shows. Attempts by fans to re-upload the podcast or circumvent removal have also been blocked by Spotify. This removal follows similar actions by other platforms like Apple Podcasts and YouTube due to the podcast's extremist and antisemitic content
