They need to find a much better way to let their listeners discover new music. SoundCloud groups used to be an alright way to do that, and when SC ditched them they really crippled themselves, and now I as a small, independent music producer don't even bother to upload my music to SC because it gets zero listens since there's virtually no way for anyone who might appreciate it to discover it.
Back when SC had groups, I didn't have a lot of listens, but it wasn't zero, and some people actually liked my music. Now SC is a ghost town for me, so why even bother?

Very much this. Some simple search tools would go a long way - multiple tags, sort by upload date, "not including" negative search, filter by like/download count, downloadable only etc
