Soundcloud episode download tracking disabled?

You used to be able to get a count of the number of people who listened/downloaded a particular episode by going to the specific episode page and looking in the corner of the ep. It was interesting to see which podcasts had more or less views and I always appreciated that they had it. I understand that people probably get these on iTunes as well and it underrepresented the count, but comparing was just kind of fun. It's too bad they got rid of it if that's what happened.

It's private now. You can still see it, but it's exclusive to the user in order to make using an account for professional purposes more lucrative. I'm not just saying that as someone on an Earwolf podcast- I use Soundcloud for other stuff and was like, wait where the hell did this go?? It's a part of a larger change happening over at Soundcloud.
