Joyrex Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 40% of SoundCloud's workforce cut to stay afloat... I give them a year or less before they fold.

omnii Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 This really sucks. Soundcloud has been a big part of my life recently. I started becoming more active posting my own music when Richard started uploading his back catalog and likeminded people started flocking there. I have found a teeny tiny niche audience that i am more than satisfied with. I have no idea if i will be able to reach anyone who will care without Soundcloud.

Braintree Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 I've avoided buying a pro subscription because they appear to be in some kind of turmoil.

Goiter Sanchez Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 So, what can we use when SC is gone which provides a similar vibe/utility? I feel like a lot of people would say Bandcamp but it seems less streaming centric compared to SC. Mixcloud has so many legal restrictions (in the US especially).

Lada Laika Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 yeesh, bad news for everybody. I can't imagine how they rebound from this, because it certainly doesn't inspire any confidence for people on the fence to invest in Pro Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Lada Laika's signature Hide all signatures https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/93555-soundcloud-closes-offices-in-londonsf/#findComment-2560041 Share on other sites More sharing options...
