Audius is building a decentralized Soundcloud to help musicians get paid faster

I used to be a fan of Soundcloud until I realized that someone I send a link to my track (or album) to would end up listening to a lot of other stuff unless they pay attention to what's written in small font in the corner of the screen.

Ditto for listening to other people's albums. I catch myself thinking "The album has been great, but this track feels odd, actually, it kind of sucks, a lot", only to see that Soundcloud has happily jumped to some random auto-play item from a different artist.

I get it, they want to be Youtube of audio (instead of being Dropbox for audio with social features, which is what the users actually want). But even Youtube is far less obnoxious with its agrresive auto-play and other crap.

The most consistent audio community for me over the past 10 years turned out to be Newgrounds, out of all things.
