Soundcloud sucking corporate cock.

Post by jordanneke »

Soundcloud soon to start ads from the majors....

You'll be able to bypass the ads, for a fee of course.... and they'll kindly make us pay to listen to content via a
subscription service.

I'm so excited by this prospect i find the words hard to come by ...

Just read about that too. Apparently the artist/label has to join that campaign to put the audio ads at the beginning of their songs and then the artist/label gets some royalties. Its a strategy to get more majors on soundcloud i guess.

I hope this stays mostly with mainstream music and soundcloud doesnt make it mandatory for everyone. If they fuck it up too much the underground music scene has to find an alternative...

care to explain ?

this is something you install that prevents those stupid adds (that start playing before your youtube video plays) from actually playing ?
how does that work ?
I mean, some of them you can skip after a few seconds, but it's just getting ridiculous lately. Almost every track I check out via youtube I gotta watch some stupid commercial.

Dunno if you lot know about Ghostery?

I think it's the fucking business. It blocks ads and all trackers too.

Soundcloud have been desperately trying to attract a user base of listeners as opposed to content creators. They just seem on a mission to piss off their original users recently. I think once this advert thing is rolled out across the whole site, lots of people will just abandon SC. I'm sure someone out there is already working on filling the void that the original SC filled. I honesty believe that SC will go the way of Myspace within a few years, and in a way I kind of hope it does. They've just totally ignored their users time and time again as they strive towards their goal of seemingly just attracting listeners to line the pockets of the majors.
Thank you for the laughs, debate, new music found, production tips etc etc over the years. I wish Subsekt and everyone all the best for the future. Wiu.

Yeah they all go the same way in the end. The need to cover overheads and rake in profits usually tops that of philosophy and ethics. I joined SC yonks ago, it was great I honestly thought it was game changing. The export of HTML code made it a much better and manageable way of putting music up on Myspace.

This is the first year in about 3 years, that I've not had some form of premium account. Even finding good music on there now has become a real struggle. It's still the best online source of mixes etc... But would love to see it replaced.

I joined soundcloud on an invite (as I'm sur others here got as well).
never bothered with myspace, that was too much for teenagers in my book. :)

a year or 2 ago, I actually even got a PM on soundcloud from some Swedish teenagers who wanted to have my username on soundcloud. It went something like "we have finally found the perfect name for our hip-hop project, but you already have it, I see you're not using it, give it to us"
hell no !!! :lol: :lol:
I've been using that name on fora since '99.
And I sure as hell made sure I uploaded something on my soundcloud later on.

teenagers doing a hip-hop project.
Respect YO !!! To all 'em bitchaz !! :lol: :lol:

The only time i've had a few problems is with video or comments in trashy news sites, which I probably shouldn't be looking at anyway......

But you can white-list sites easily
