Nope. Not really. I speak two local languages for example and none of them are in Soundcloud, it was never popular in my region.

I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about the concept of using a service because it has content you cannot find elsewhere. That is absolutely why many people still download music from SoundCloud. Whether you do or not is completely irrelevant.

You: WHY DO PEOPLE...

Me: (Answering your question) PERSONALLY....

You: I'm not talking about YOU, your experience is irrelevant

What a goddamn fucking clown 🤣 I swear you need to grow some braincells next time you encounter an opinion that's contrary to yours.

It’s not a reason to do everything on that one platform, especially when better alternatives exist.

You replied with some retarded anecdote about how SoundCloud is not applicable because you speak two languages. No one asked, no one cares.

The point I was making was that, like with YouTube, some music can only be found on SoundCloud but thaf this is not a reason to only ever use that platform to download music. Better alternatives exist; there is no reason to spend 100% of your time using an inferior method just because it is compulsory 5% of the time.
