Soundcloud, the massive audio streaming site that has over 40 million unique users may be in a spot of trouble if these findings are anything to go by.

According to FACT Magazine, a report was issued that casts ‘significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue.’

Although the company only struck a lucrative licensing deal with Universal Music last month, reports have found the company’s overheads have increased faster than its revenue recently.

For example, employee wages shot up by a staggering 42.5%, with the average SoundCloud staffer earning almost €80,000.

The report has indicated that the company will need much more investment if it is to continue operations this year.

This is how we feel about the news.
