Tough times for soundcloud...
Weapons, not food, not homes, not shoes
Not need, just feed the war cannibal animal
You know, when I first heard about this I had mixed feelings whether it's a good or a bad thing. But after reading this:
Damn. What a shitty way to do anything.One of the facts that was most frustrating to SoundCloud staff was that the company continued hiring people into positions that would soon be eliminated, with some workers joining SoundCloud as little as two weeks before the layoffs

They should just stop hosting DJ mixes and limit the content to strictly producer/artist based. This way the licensing can fall onto the artists themselves instead of the website. They would lose a lot of user base at first, but it would open the platform up to being a place for original music and go back to how it was in the beginning.

Doing that and getting rid of groups killed a large part of their paying customer base (on the artist side). Why pay soundcloud to host your music and take money from advertising when you can get your music distributed for less than the monthly subscription cost AND get paid for ad revenue from streaming services such as spotify and iHeart?

Couldn't they pay a flat fee to RIAA and the other gangsters? or something based on plays?

I don't disagree, but the explosion in listeners will have ballooned costs beyond what the [relatively niche] paying artist userbase could support. To be honest, they'd have been better off going the Bandcamp route and allowing artists to sell their catalogue through the platform. Probably with the stipulation that it's unsigned content only.
