    I never got into SoundCloud, so I’m categorically ignorant here. What made it good in the first place and how/why does it suck now? Thanks.

      Well, its basically a free music sharing platform, you can share your stuff for free, and other share theirs. It was popular with smaller artists, because they haven’t signed to a label etc etc…

      now it has a limited number of uploads per user, and random tracks are locked, for which you have to buy a premium subscription.

        Wow, yeah, it sounds like they shit in their own lunchbox. I’m always disappointed, but never surprised, to see the arc of a business move in the direction you describe. It’s like they never learn about the death spiral of taking away the features that made them great.
