I'm a daily listener on soundcloud (free tier for now). For months, soundcloud have bugged me with stupid ads every two or three songs. I was planning to leave the platform because I found it annoying and I don't like to being forced to pay.<p>Ads seem to be gone for now and with this new perspective, I'm actually considering taking a paying plan (starting around 6.00 € a month). I must admit the new model where the money I give actually goes to the musicians I actually listen to is appealing. Well done!<p>ps: as a shameless plug, I use soundcloud to save some old french movie audio clip, from the 60th and 70thies mostly and usually sassy.
