I already posted this article on the previous SoundCloud thread last week, but it's worth mentioning that a string of decisions that SoundCloud made after their glory years of the late 00s lost them support from the very artists and DJs that originally made the site popular: https://www.theverge.com/2017/7/21/15999172/soundcloud-business-model-future-spotify-streaming https://www.theverge.com/2017/7/21/15999172/soundcloud-busin... Speaking only for myself, I canceled my paid account in 2014 after already not visiting for a year or two due to the spam problem and copyright strikes. I am not deeply involved in making music any more, so I don't know where the hot spot for musicians to collaborate is today, but cloud storage is counted in the terabytes now so sharing projects, samples and stems is much less expensive than it used to be. Timestamped comments and being able to scrub back and forward without loading up your DAW is probably the main differentiator that SoundCloud offered, but I'm not sure that's as unique as it used to be either. One weird site I saw linked on last week's thread was this one from Audacity's new owners: https://audio.com/ https://audio.com/ It's full of janky little samples and snippets that people have uploaded. It reminds me of the early days of musicians uploading whatever unfinished ideas to BBSes and newsgroups for feedback or just to feel like they weren't alone in the world. Artists will always find a way.
