I don't think is just laziness.
I just feel that the old SC was kept easy, simple and with all the basics features that you actually needed to present yourself, your work and get in touch with whoever you wanted in a click.
While now, it seems that is slowly trying to get more commercial and getting ready to become a fucking MySpace, with adds and banners.
I've been looking everywhere for that "send message" feature that usually appear on an artist page, but I couldn't find it in the new SC.
I can only see the old messages I received.
I'm pretty sure they will implement an improvement in the message system for the future, but for now, I say it sucks!
I highlight this as an important gap, because SC it's been for my last 4 years an extremely important platform where I've met other producers for collaborations and remix, labels for releases and so on.
Therefore, messaging is vital in my point of view.
That's said, I've been on the beta test since it started the project.
I'm not a kind if person who doesn't look for progressing, but SC should put a lot of effort to don't create another MySpace monster.
Time will tell.
For now I stick on my old version.
Much love to SC anyway!
