Unfortunately for soundcloud, aren't they killing their main userbase? DJ's mixing mainstream songs.

Btw, stories can't have both urls and text, so your submission text was lost. We're going to fix that so a message comes up when users do it.

Thanks. We changed the url from http://www.dancingastronaut.com/2014/07/soundcloud-continues... . Btw, stories can't have both urls and text, so your submission text was lost. We're going to fix that so a message comes up when users do it.
First, that is a low blow linking to others doing it. They know, or haven't got to them yet. Websites like Etsy do the same on license content. Two, they choose you be set an example. Three, I always thought of Soundcloud the Vimeo of music. If it is an artisans music website, upload your own creations. Unfortunately for soundcloud, aren't they killing their main userbase?

It is possible that it was an "offer you can't refuse" type thing. I doubt they'd do it voluntarily.

I thought the same thing at first, but the users that are linked to are all big, big names that get millions of plays on Soundcloud that will never get takedowns, whether they have clearances or not. It's more like saying "why are you hassling me for my $10 unpaid fine when you don't care about these corporations' $100,000 unpaid fines" than it is about narcing on the competition.
One of my initial takeaways from this development is that while Soulection may not have come to exist without Soundcloud, the "next Soulection" will almost certainly take root anywhere but Soundcloud.
It's a shame.
Also their interface for tracking plays has gotten significantly worse. And you have to pay extra to get most of the same information you get for free from youtube.
Well Youtube has advertisements, and soundcloud doesn't. Someone is still paying for you to get that information, it's just not you, on youtube. I do agree that their interface has gotten worse, though. Especially for tracking.

Maybe the ability to have a seed post to go along with the link might be a feature worth evaluating?
