Has Pandora changed the algorithm to allow for more variety?

I've had Pandora since forever (first subscribed in 2006!), and I have a station that is my go-to - basically everything I like: 80+ seed songs and artists, nearly 1000 thumbs-up, a few hundred thumbs-down.

I get frustrated sometimes because it historically doesn't go that deep into any artist - like the same 5-8 songs by an artist keep getting replayed. Sure you can move to "deep cuts" or other modes to mix it up (and I do), but in "My Station" mode it just isn't that deep.

All of a sudden this week, it has completely changed. In normal "My Station" mode, I'm getting a lot more deep cuts or songs I haven't heard in years (or ever) mixed in with some of the usual go-to's. It is, in a word, terrific!

My question - has the algorithm changed recently to mix things up a bit more?

I haven't changed anything on my own recently, no rash of new thumbs on Deep Cuts mode, nothing like that. I have been using "I'm tired of this song" here and there but not enough to dramatically change entire vibe of the station.

What has changed? This is fantastic!
