I've been sharing music on SoundCloud for a decade and I am genuinely interested in this topic, but I cannot stand how strongly this post reeks of LLM writing. Do people releasing this kind of content not notice all the clichés?

As the years go by I get more and more annoyed by the fact you cannot sort results by upload-time on Soundcloud. Your only time-related option is a filter which makes no guarantee about the order of results.

Cutoff at 17 kHz is certainly a viable trade-off in lossy audio compression, but calling it an _upgrade_ is pretty controversial, if not dishonest.
