Interesting how Bandcamp and Soundcloud are kind of the same thing in terms of letting people upload audio into playlists, but one seems to be doing fine while the other's likely shutting down. Like, was it hard to let people sell albums through Soundcloud? What's the logic there?

@gargron I think SoundCloud had an attractive no-ads-free-content-only subscription. They made it too expensive though : 5 bucks/month. And failed to promote it: I found out about it in an article about them letting go their staff, while using SoundCloud several times a week.

@koos Never seen any ads on SC (well, adblock ๐Ÿ˜‚) their subscription never appeared like a value proposition to me.

@gargron a couple of months ago they did audio ads, but now that you mention it: haven't heard any in the last month or so.
