    I wonder, is there an alternative to SoundCloud? it started sucking a few years ago

      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 spiritual of taking away the features that made them great.

        I don’t use it for listening to music, more for sharing my own trashy stuff. I hate streaming, I would never use it.

        edit: back in the day, you could download any track. and the UI was much more… organized, I guess. That’s on thing I hate about modern websites, The UI makes no sense.
