here's a few ublock rules to make soundcloud nicer to use. to use them, go into the ublock dashboard, then into My Filters. there, paste the ones you want, and hit Apply changes
this first set removes soundcloud promotional material (things like Go+, Next Pro):
! remove "50% of free uploads used" section soundcloud.com##.quotaMeter__noSidePadding.quotaMeterWrapper ! "try go+" button soundcloud.com##.header__goUpsell_side_by_side_experience.header__link ! "try next pro" button soundcloud.com##.header__proUpsell_side_by_side_experience.header__link.sc-link.creatorSubscriptionsButton ! mastering button. who masters using soundcloud lol soundcloud.com##.sc-button-mastering.masteringButton ! "for artists" button soundcloud.com##.header__forArtistsButton
the following rules hide things i don't care about, such as the trending and charts:
! charts soundcloud.com##.mixedModularHome__item:has(h2.mixedSelectionModule__titleText:has-text("Charts")) soundcloud.com##.mixedModularHome__item:has(h2.mixedSelectionModule__titleText:has-text("Trending")) ! covid donate button soundcloud.com##.directSupport
these next ones prevent brainworms.
it always upsets me if i post a song and it gets less plays/likes/comments than i had hoped for,
so these rules will hide stat counters for just your own songs.
make sure to replace YOURUSERNAME
with your actual soundcloud username
! remove "you have 46 plays in the last 7 days" block soundcloud.com##.insightsSidebarModule ! remove play/like/comment count on your songs soundcloud.com##.sound__content:has(.soundTitle__username[href="/YOURUSERNAME"]) .sc-ministats-group soundcloud.com##.sound__content:has(.soundTitle__username[href="/YOURUSERNAME"]) .sc-button-like soundcloud.com##.sc-ministats-group:has(.sc-ministats-likes[href^="/YOURUSERNAME"])
