PLEASE give us the 'discover'-feature back.

or at least give an actual explanation as to why you guys thought it would be a good idea to remove it.

i hadnt used soundtrap in a while and thought id log back in today to look through my old projects and get inspiration from others to start new projects. but after realizing that i couldnt publish songs and previously published songs were not marked as such, i noticed that the 'discover' button was also nowhere to be found. i was honestly bummed out. i used to have such a good time scrolling through the profiles and listening to peoples soundbites. now i cant even look at the profiles of people that i followed way back when. it makes me sad to think of the song that couldve become my favorite songs and the people that i couldve met and made friends with through this platform. now its not even a platform to share your work anymore, even though it couldve easily stayed that if someone hadnt made the totally genius decision to remove any sort of community aspect from this website (not counting this 'community' tab since its basically just a place to ask questions, not to discover music).

you also claimed to only have removed it for new users (if i understood that correctly). aside from what i think of that idea as a whole, i joined sountrap back in 2019. i used to have the feature, i dont anymore.

im honestly so sad about this. i dont understand what couldve made anyone think this was the best move to make. im sure whatever the issue was, it couldve been solved in a different way that didnt require one of the most crucial aspects of soundtrap to be removed as a whole. im sure youve heard this a million times by now. but i think that kind of makes it worse, since the devs obviously know theyve upset many of us and havent done anything to change this or give a real explanation other than a vague copy-and-paste-reply.

thanks for reading.

yes i agree with you, i came here just to make a similar post. there is like no interaction between users now and i have no idea why they thought this was a good idea

@sasha yeah me neither. ive since switched over to uploading my stuff on soundcloud while still making the actual music on here, maybe some of the community will follow there.

i think the reason soundtrap did this is they think if they removed being able to listen to songs on 1 platform then there bigger platform spotify (which owns soundtrap) will get new users since people on soundtrap cant listen to others music. that's why i think they did it. was it a good move not in a million years. this update is so stupid. i left soundtrap a while ago to move to fl studio but when i came back to see some of my old friends that still use it i couldn't view there profiles. i hate it here .bring back viewable profiles.

Edited

btw i think its funny the official soundtrap posts cant be disliked or commented on because they made the only way to interact with a official post is to follow it which for every follow it changes that to a like so no one can dislike or comment on the actual post making it look like people actually like there updates (this is only on the post telling everyone they will be removed)

PLEASE give us the 'discover'-feature back.
