SoundCloud is one of the greatest websites for music discovery around. As the platform continues to grow in size and competition, they are seeking new ways to get ahead. From advertisements to streaming limits and take downs to paid subscriptions, the website is receiving some serious criticism.
Most recently, SoundCloud has decided to temporarily ban users for reposting too much. Events company and blog 1833.fm reported that they were temporarily banned for reposting. After some investigation, it seems that the bans are targeted toward specific users. The message below is what SoundCloud is sending out to accounts that violate their reposting limit:

The platform has definitely changed direction since they started. The shift in SoundCloud\’s goals as a business are altering their reputation as a community-oriented, music discovery website.
