    I guess soundcloud loads everything after the DOMContentLoaded event, trough scripts. Therefore I need to observe for every mutation on the body :(
    Still, the mutation is used to replace the new content the user loads so +1 for mutation observer.

    It may be possible to stop it after a while it gets not called and trigger the mec
