What matters is that tons of stuff disappeared. I learned that I can't trust these types of platforms because they are for-profit and may screw us all over or make stupid decisions. I also can't trust non-profit options if they aren't really stable. I trust Wikimedia to stick around, and archive.org and some others (although everyone should donate to keep them strong!), but other, I dunno.
Instead of fully embracing SoundCloud, I've basically stayed distrusting and my creative publishing actually suffered a lot (although my concerns are part of what led me into understanding free culture, free software, etc. and why I'm aware of Hacker News now etc)
