SoundCloud has just forced me to login in order to listen to a public track.

Feels like the entire internet is walled gardens. I hardly both using search engines these days because its 5 pages of walled gardens. Even worse if you're using a VPN.
i did 15 captchas for a Google search query when on VPN using a windows machine π
https://kagi.com/ is honestly so much better.
they said they are looking at integrating nostr auth too, btw

Nothing good! π
Everything needs a damn account. Wen key pair login?
That is very safe, I was having trouble with YouTube, if using vpn they are asking for login to know that I'm not a bot
They have been doing this for me too. "Sign in to keep our community safe" it says. Thankfully if you refresh the page that goes away for me.
Yeah fuck Soundcloud, they banned my account because I used a VPN. Use Spotify instead, it's much better in every way.
Login with #nostr account? π
They gotta pump their usage numbers π€£
Has Elon taken over SoundCloud?
