Soundcloud about to colapse

Re: Soundcloud about to colapse

this is their response RA News: SoundCloud denies it's running out of money, claims it's 'confident' about profitability

but lets look at this logistically, they increased their user base by forcing people to log into the site to download stuff which means they also increased their out take of money in streaming as the site became more popular and also at the same time they did that thing with the dj mixes where they forced it's users to not allow downloads if they wanted them to host their work, pretty dumb imo, it would probably cost them less if they just let people download rather than stream

in 2015 they lost something like 50 M, last year twitter invested 70 M but the above ^ happened and they also introduced soundcloud go which is probably hemorrhaging as much money as spotify is

"It is believed the company, which received $70 million of funding from Twitter last year, is looking for investors" ..

It amazes me how stupid you have to be to blow 70M in one year and still canīt manage to put the company back on track.

Would be sad if itīs gone, i use it on a daily basis.

Re: Soundcloud about to colapse

Plus, most things on soundcloud do not have download option anymore

Yeah i hear you... But besides you can easily download all SC stuff (128 tho) its like SC is confort zone .. and to be honest confort zone sounds great because there are loads of good music just a couple of clicks away..

I will survive no matter what tho

Re: Soundcloud about to colapse

fuck, time to start archiving stuff.

you know when you think of a mix that you heard years ago but can't find it? I can usually find it on soundcloud. lots more popping up on mixcloud lately though. it's gonna be like the rapid/mega crash a few years ago.

Re: Soundcloud about to colapse

if it goes, what will replace it? surely something will (haven't read the article yet)

There are loads of different platforms. I manly use Hulkshare, but you also have Hearthis, plus others. Why worry about soundcloud?

Re: Soundcloud about to colapse

I will be pissed for all the artists that have invested so much time and talent intro it.

For real.. I dont care about SC itself but i do care about my SC account lol .. Especially considering that i mostly stream all the music i listen to these days.
