The OP probably should have been a link to Axios, which is the outlet that broke the news; TC is just reblogging it and adding its own commentary/context: https://www.axios.com/soundcloud-asks-investors-to-support-r...

To be fair, the UX is a mess. The mobile experience is horrible and always tries to drag you to the app (which is not great), and SC is constantly trying to push the "social" aspect. I can't filter out "shares" or whatever from my feed, which means instead of listening to the artists I like, I end up listening to a bunch of random crap they share.

What irked me about that one was that the UX being a mess can't possibly be only caused by the layoff woes 2 weeks ago.

To be fair, this seems to be the unfortunate norm these days.

I really thought TechCrunch was getting better, but man this is bad journalism. It's like a hit piece in a high school newspaper.
