, which rapidly amassed a large user-base and consistently launches songs onto the charts and into multi-million major-label contracts.

Soundcloud’s Monday email seemed like another step down the same path, a move that was focused on the bottom line at the expense of the reckless artistry that once made the platform so exciting. “[Streaming] companies don’t get in the game to be libraries, they get in the game to be profitable,” says Nick Catchdubs, a DJ-producer and co-founder of the Fool’s Gold label. “They try to serve two masters, but at the end of the day, being profitable is gonna win out.

But SoundCloud is paying the server bill.” But communities on Reddit, Discord, and Twitter were angered by SoundCloud’s decision on Monday — regardless of server bills.
