Honestly they handed their own lunch to spotify and then cried when it got eaten. They were completely different services for different artists and different audiences, until SC tried to force a premium service. That's when Spotify comparisons started and drew users away. An anecdote - I won't pay for more than one music subscription on a monthly basis. I won't even choose apple music or tidal or amazon music (if it wasn't included with prime) over Spotify. Why would I pick soundcloud when it has a smaller catalog and a worse UX?
