SoundCloud might be the single worst music platform out there, and that's saying a lot given that Spotify exists. The audio quality is awful, everything is expensive and they double and triple dip artists and listeners. Yet despite the exploitative monetisation, they don't seem to actually make any money and have almost gone bankrupt several times.

I certainly don't plan to pay them anything, that's for sure. I'm just out there looking for a stable mix of things I've never heard and some nostalgia, but very few and far between platforms do anything except reccomend the same bunch of songs that you've heard a thousand times before.

And also something that plays well on a mobile browser.
