For most local bands, nobody discovers you on Spotify. People find out about your band because you shared a show with another band they like.
After you are discovered by the new fan, they may later search for you on Spotify. But Bandcamp is more likely.
That assumes they even remember who you are. You have to play multiple shows in some areas, make a big impact on the audience, maybe have your stuff played on the local college station and then, just maybe, people will give a shit about you.
Lots of good music on bandcamp with less than 30 plays, and that's why.
