Just asking what everyone thinks of the platform. I rarely listen to music, but it seems like spotify but community edition.
There are paid features but I don't seem to need them (Desktop only user), no DRM protection so I can download if I want, site is not heavy on my humble resources.

This post is just asking if Soundcloud is something I should talk positively about. Moral compass in the high seas.

hmm, makes sense. I guess I'll keep using it with adblocker then. Felt kinda guilty cuz it has been handy for me for years whenever I think about music. Also was curious what the general consensus looks like. Like what the music community and artists think
