I've always been very very late to jump on the sound cloud wagon, open an account but not doing really anything with it for years. also due to distributing my own music for over 10 years off my website. Sure sound cloud is a nice tool but at the same time I think it's crossing into creating a market where people may perceive it as a necessity to HAVE to pay.. it's just so clouded with so many post now, when I get 40 notifications a day, I just clear them and don't bother to listen to any of them... so back to my point..
it's just clustered with corp control and so may artist may feel forced to pay, then having (Unlimited) music, which then creates a endless amounts of nothing tracks and mixes to listen to, nearly creating the site to be useless .... so what's the point... other than they are getting all your money and it's a self created market... based on pure perception...yes I'm aware for the bigger artist it's a feed your fanbase can have instance access, but you can also do the same thing your self with feeds from a website with your own new feed, and wouldn't need to put any of your music up at sound cloud...
perhaps I'm counting my pennies more now a days, but I dont find tracks or podcast off there that I actually use, listen to or download. I found one actually in about two years come to thing of it..i kinda liked ...I really really try to listen to as many as I can, but it's just clustered with nonsense...it's get old even trying to find good mixes on there any more...
which brings be back to more faith in this forum... if they are good or decent they will surface here... more than likely..
just my thought and my rant... feel free to share you thoughts if you would..
