pitchfork.com/news/soundcloud-announces-layoffs-impacting-nearly-20-percent-of-workforce

SoundCloud has announced that it will be laying off roughly 20% of its workforce due to recent changes in the economic and financial landscape, as noted in reports by Billboard and Variety.

In 2017, SoundCloud laid off nearly 40% of its workforce in an effort to “control” its “independent future.”

Looks like they are finally in the throes of death. I know they caught a second wind a few years ago but don’t really see them as relevant when people can post thier rough drafts on Spotify or AM

Anyone still using soundcloud? I Know band camp is great for smaller artists and that intimate bond, and bandlap has the novelty of being a music making platform, don’t really see anywhere for SoundCloud, especially when youtube music will let you find most loosies

neeed chance the rapper to buy soundcloud

They done

Its over soon

Gonna have rip my timeline

i dont wanna see soundcloud die

Everyone go download YouTube-dL onto your computers and run a download script for your favorite playlists

I have my favorite SoundCloud songs downloaded as a result

That sucks

I mean every tech company is doing this

Pretty interesting cause I pretty much see a lot of ppl still use it

soundcloud, soundclick - RIP

i wonder if bandcamp will be next

music sharing sites always seem to have trouble achieving a sustainable business model

If only profit weren’t the only way my favorite artists could continue presenting their work but imma get the usual
users calling me bitter

Epic games bought bandcamp so that is good to stay

Link to a good one?

i didn't know that

they could still shut it down in the future if it doesn't make sense for them financially

Why exactly was soundcloud so popular

The sound quality is such dog s***

fortnite

The power of Fortnite will keep bandcamp alive

free music

the man's a psychic

If x was still here he woulda bought soundcloud and would have that s*** jumping

If bandcamp added on a streaming platform it would be sick

To a playlist?

surprise Spotify or another streaming service hasn’t tried to buy them

easy to upload music and one of the best ways of finding rising artists/genres almost nobody cares about sound quality irl
