Don't worry, SoundCloud has been driving away core users and artists for years now. Can't see what's wrong at this stage with a final throw of the dice from someone with different ideas.

Where are the bedroom DJs and indies going now, then? I think soundcloud is still the place to be. I'm a daily user.

mixcloud, bandcamp

Those who didn't leave soundcloud in 2014, left after the 2015 purge. Many went to mixcloud.

I've been using SC since 2011 and didn't even know about these exoduses. I even though it was getting more popular. Guess I was out of the loop.

EDIT: I just created an account on Mixcloud and searched for 11 artists i'm following on SC and not a single one had a presence on Mixcloud. I'm calling bs on that.

what kind of things has it been doing to drive them away?
