Soundcloud is slowly killing me

I did, there aren't many good ones that I've found. Who actually skims pages of amateur producers posting their songs every 5 minutes?

LOL, I'm guessing the same people that do it on soundcloud?

Nah, much different platforms. I can't honestly see many people viewing those shit groups on Facebook. I'm a part of a few production/feedback groups which bring good numbers but the second you try to flash your shit you're booted.

Go on Reddit, find the appropriate subreddit, be honest and sincere: "Hey guys, I'm a producer/DJ and just made this track/remix/mix. Check it out and let me know what you think." Or something like that. People tend to be supportive in the music subreddits.

I used to hit up Reddit but it's been a while... I'll give it another go today.

More on the Mixcloud charts
If you're smart with your tags, you can get a lot of hits. I've had a few mixes get in the top 5 of Lounge, Dark ect charts. It's hard to score high in things like Techno, EDM, House or Tech House as the competition is fierce and bigger artists all chart high. However it is a great addition, and really makes uploading mixes more fun as well.

I'm also seeing a lot more people upload tracks to Mixcloud as well, since Soundcloud is slowly turning into a joke. I can't wait until Kim Dotcom's Baboom site is done. I'm really excited to see how that goes.

Reddit is awesome for finding music, I found pretty much all my future house on /r/shallowhouse.

Also the problem with Soundcloud is not so much a bad management, or them screwing the userbase. It's just that they simply grew too big. Hosting songs for a few people is doable, after that you will need income (subscriptions). After that even the big media companies will start to notice you, and all of a sudden you have a lot of copyright trouble.
In each step of their growth Soundcloud had to make compromises, simply to be able to sustain their service.

I've been hitting it hard the past few days, had some results on Soundcloud.

3 sets pinged out of 90+ isn't too bad for me (2 were house ones, 1 was a chillout mix)
