Subvert is designed as an alternative to Bandcamp collectively owned and run by its community from 54 countries, with 100% ownership reserved for its artists, community, and workers.

#### Pivotal phase in Subvert’s development

“We’re entering a pivotal phase in Subvert’s development,” [writes](https://subvert.fm/blog/protest-to-proposal/?ref=hypebot.com) **Subvert founder Austin Robey**. “In the coming weeks, our members will begin shaping the platform through direct feedback on designs, prototypes, and features. This isn’t just about gathering opinions. It’s about building *with* a community and being responsive to the needs of our members from day one..”

**Founding Member artists, labels and fans become a co-owner of Subvert and receive:**

- A physical limited edition copy of “Plan for the Artist-Owned Internet” – our 134-page manifesto and blueprint
- Access to our members-only forum where we’re actively shaping Subvert’s development
- Early access to platform designs and the chance to influence the interface through direct feedback
- The opportunity to participate in our upcoming 1:1 interviews, where your insights will directly influence our platform’s features and policies

“By participating early, you’ll help establish the foundation that thousands of artists and supporters will build upon,” says Robey
