So....this might not matter at all to anyone here, and it's probably not going to cause much of a ripple in the big pond.....

However, I write music that gets submitted to film and TV projects for sync licensing. One of my publishers just sent notice that their very strict "NO-AI" policy is to now include hosting music on Soundcloud. We can use Soundcloud for hosting BUT, not for anything we plan to submit. If any music hosted on Soundcloud is submitted for sync to this pub, .... well, lets just say, it's not advisable. This particular publisher is easily the strictest one in the business that I have worked with. All my submissions to all my publishers are in a private Box account that no one has heard but me and that publisher.

SoundCloud has updated their Terms of Use to include the following:

"...You explicitly agree that your Content may be used to inform, train, develop or serve as input to artificial intelligence or machine intelligence technologies or services as part of and for providing the services."

So.... your music, hosted on Soundcloud, can be used, without your knowledge, permission, or compensation, for the training of AI models that are obviously paying Soundcloud for the data.

Just so you know.

And yeah... I've got a few SC accounts with a couple dozen songs..... I'll most likely be looking into moving them elsewhere soon.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
