    Did I just watch a Soundcloud Ad? And why was it better than the actual SoundCloud ad that's all over my UA-cam?

    soundcloud is far more superior with less ads and the freedom to pick what song you want instead of spotify that will put a playlist of songs even if you wanna hear just one

    SoundCloud all the way. It's like UA-cam with lots of underground artist, remixes and niche stuff. Also I LOVE the way how you can see comments from others as the song progressses :)

    Soundcloud imo is broken in a GOOD way. You can play some songs offline, without payment. And it could just be me but i stopped getting ads on my computer when I installed soundcloud on my account on my phone, so its glitched so that I get NO ads while listening on computer, (i still get ads on my phone though) . And plus, I normally listen to underground music and most of my fav songs aren't on spotify,Only 1-2 songs are available..the band can't be THAT underground..right?

    Its more about user interface and ease of using the platform . Spotify looks and feels more appealing visually than sound cloud to me

    • @retroklub_tv
      @retroklub_tv  10 місяців тому +1

      Agreed. They put much more attention into that on Spotify. It's another interesting thought, we lean towards things that look and feel better despite the mound of other negative things they may hold.

      I agree aesthetics are subjective, but for that reason I actually chose SoundCloud first. I'm a sucker for orange, and to this day I love how the song progresses visually through the sound waves on screen.
      I did try Spotify later but quickly got annoyed at the extreme focus on mainstream music. On SoundCloud I can almost always find what I'm looking for, a lot of video game and movie OST's in addition to a huge selection of remixes (which I generally prefer over originals) and when I am looking for fresh music it's much less curated.

      If you're looking to change distributors, you only need to gather the ISRC and UPC codes for reuploading. This applies to all distributors. Look up some tutorials on changing distributors, it's quite easy !! Once reuploads are confirmed, you can delete the releases you have on DistroKid.

      @@Qliche Oh yea, you can use both. If you put a new song up via SoundCloud, whatever money THAT song makes will come thru your SoundCloud wallet. Old releases on DistroKid will keep making money over there, etc. If you choose to move over, the payments will move over after a few months.

    Nah bro soundcloud isn't it! I was getting 10k streams a week on average when they took my music down for some of the songs having loops. When I proved that I still had %100 rights to my music they put my music back up but never started back paying me for my streams. Then they switched to "Fan Powered Royalties" and still nothing. I get The same 10k streams per week and they tell me that it isn't enough streams to get paid because maybe people aren't listening to the whole song or the streamers aren't premium members?? Get the fuck out of here! I cant wait to take them to court!!! I have over 3 million streams on SoundCloud total and this is how they do me?? It sucks that they were the only platform I started uploading to so I have my largest following there and they wont pay me a penny!

    I'm sorry but I disagree with you. I like Spotify a little better. I mean SoundCloud has good quality and all that. But if you want to listen to the original music sometimes they won't let you unless you want to buy the goat plus and make you listen to the remixes which are not as good as the original. And I like Spotify cuz you can make albums which are really fun to do. I've tried both and I've made my decisions. Spotify is greater.

    Yeah SoundCloud is way better I'm doing better on there than I was doing on Spotify Spotify is such garbage People followed me and the thousands and then they just randomly on followed me and it all had to do with that playlist bull crap on Spotify My music's never really put into any playlist on Spotify So my music Harley gets to listen to on there unless I actually tell somebody to go listen to it or unless somebody accidentally finds it SoundCloud I only have a hundred followers so far and I freaking got thousands and thousands of listens and views and stuff I've actually started making money for once on my music on SoundCloud everywhere else I tried to monetize my music got nothing One thing I have to disagree with you though on here is that the support is better It is not there is no support on SoundCloud They just ignore you It's a good platform to be making money and to post your music and to get yourself out there but it's not good for support The developers of SoundCloud don't give a hoot about what you have to say They ignore everything I've sent them mad ticket requests and none of them have ever gotten back to me on them
