Spotify put the final nail in the coffin for our two-year vision.
Yesterday, Spotify published changes regarding Developer Access and extended quotas for their API.
These changes completely shut down operations based on the Spotify API if you have more than five users, literally.
So they've left only a small space for experimentation, while giving full-fledged access to big businesses with "commercial liability" and >> 250k MAU.
We've been using the Spotify API for different parts of #SFScoop , and honestly, it was held together with duct tape due to previous restrictions and complications with dev mode and extended quotas.
We started thinking about getting rid of Spotify a while ago, and it seems Spotify was thinking the same way.
Well, it's about time.
In February, we will deploy planned major changes aimed at making SFScoop self-sustaining.
February will be another major milestone on the SFScoop roadmap.

We've closed SFS -> SOL swaps within the #SFScoop App and moved all app SOL reserves to the market liquidity pool.
We're going to simplify the SFS wallet and keep only the essential options.
#SFS tokens should be more liquid between SFScoop wallets and the Solana blockchain, so we decided to close internal swaps to incentivize SFS withdrawals from the platform.
Withdraw your tokens to your #PhantomWallet to hold, swap, or add liquidity to the market pool.

Curator request pricing on #SFScoop has been updated.🐙
Over the past few weeks, we collected feedback on the curator request module and decided to introduce a breaking change.
What's new:
- 1 curator request submission now costs 0.2 SFS - Up to 300 requests per month - No refunds for idle or paid curators - Paid curators will still not be visible to artists
All pending requests submitted under the old price (4 SFS per request) have been fully refunded.
We crossed 5 million streams on #SFScoop since the launch of On-Air playlists.
While we were building the platform, our community of artists, fans, and tech guys was listening, supporting, and keeping On-Air running.
This is a major milestone on SFScoop’s roadmap. It means real exposure for our artists and real engagement rewards for listeners, earned in SFS tokens.
We have a lot in progress, and this year will bring even bigger steps forward.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to On-Air ❤️
Thank you to everyone in our community for sticking with us, supporting us, and helping shape what SFScoop is becoming.
We even wrapped up the final update of the year on the very last day - consider it our gift under your Christmas tree. And we're not slowing down: next year is going to be even bigger for SFScoop.
