Enshittification is the word of the year 2023. I wonder how enshittifed SoundCloud will become (it pretty much already is, but there's room for more).

Who will buy it? Who would? Technically it's great IMHO.

But when someone pays 1 billion currency they will want to extract at least the same amount out of this service.

Their API and developer support is atrocious. Their dev team has been like two people for the last 5 years.

It isn't nearly as enshittified as many other products that get that label. Sure, you can get an "ad-free listening experience for a cups of coffee per month", but the experience as a free-plan listener _and_ free-plan uploader is nowhere near as bad as most of its competition. Dubious source: I am both.
