Ad Feedback - Political Ads

Remove Sleep Joe Biden Ads or i will stop using.

I saw your post while looking for how to complain about the ads. I was enjoying the music only for a DHS ad to play which is highly negative. I am not affected and was offended. I listen for fun not toxic politics. It’s not good business to insult the audience I am listening to Apple Music instead.

Dear Pandora Support,

I am writing to express my disappointment with the advertisements I keep hearing about deportation. As a result, I will no longer be listening to Pandora.

If you do not want to listen to my concerns, I don't see why I should continue to listen to your platform. Thank you for ignoring my previous posts about this issue.

I understand that my decision to stop using Pandora may not make a significant difference to your company. However, it will at least allow me to feel that I am doing the right thing. I can easily switch to Amazon Music or Spotify, both of which have fewer ads.

Sincerely,

Teresa

I keep getting political ads and I am not happy with the type of ads that are being presented to me. I want to know how I can mark it as not interested because these ads do not align with my views. I do want to allow explicit content on my pandora because some music I like have an occasional F word and sometimes the language is strong. I don't believe I should have to change my preference in music because of the ad situation. There should be a button to mark it as not interested so i can get different type of ads.

Why is the Kristi Noem immigration ad on pandora?? What is pandora telling us? Are you anti-immigration? I sent an email about this to customer service and they said theyd forward my complaint to the ad dept but it seems the appearance of the ad has just increased. I’m banning the pandora app. I can’t believe they are so openly anti immigrant and are airing such a threatening message. I’m not dealing with apps that don’t share my values and beliefs.

Why are you playing hate ads from homeland security. 
I will start a boycott on pandora’s

I am appalled by the politics ads supporting Trump racist anti immigration political ads.  We already know there have been unlawful detentions even to legal immigrants as well as inhumane conditions for undocumented immigrants without criminal background an undocumented  immigration is a civil matter. Children nd women subjected to sleep deprivation, crowded cells, cold showers, undue process, and many more. I am canceling my subscription to Pandora. I will not support this kind of atrocious ads and propaganda.

We need to report a political ad that uses hate speech propaganda against the Latino/Hispanic community.

The Kristi Noem ads threatening immigrants are offensive, hostile and racist. After years of hearing hardware store and auto parts ads, these are of an entirely different nature. They have no business on a music streaming platform and demonstrate shockingly bad judgement on the part of Pandora. Keep running them and you will see a drop in listenership. 

[lzambrano]

Its appalling that you are using the ad to misinformed people about immigration. And still threating immigrants. Horrible!!!!

[Veraluna]

As a loyal listener of Pandora, I find the DHS ads offensive to the community and request to have them removed. Thank you.

I also refuse to listen to hate ads. PANDORA do better! I will erase your app and will make sure I tell everyone I know to do the same.

Can’t be shocked these days, but still…Listening to my fave Hispanic music stations (La Ley, Enanitos, Arjona, you get the pic) and I got this awful ad about deportation. I can’t. I CAN’T. How did this happen? And by “this” I don’t mean the ad; I mean how did this escoria get elected? Can’t even call it a person.

I love music and have used Pandora since its inception. That being said, I do not wish to hear any political propaganda from any side of the spectrum. And especially today with this far-right extremism (Fascism, not republicans). I am a moderate, an independent, I am read up on my life and my choices. I do not need anyone trying to influence me either way. I want to hear what is relevant, which is what your algorithm used to be. I do not wish to have political ads on my feed.

Listening to kids Pandora station and a completely inappropriate anti-immigration ad comes on. Not the first time. It’s threatening and political. I love the app and understand the need for ads for nonpaying subscribers but don’t need to hear hateful speech between kids songs. Not ready to talk to toddler about Kristi Noem’s scary leave-the-county voice plus I find it deeply disturbing. There should be a line. 

I close the app when I hear it. It’s been 3 times. Will delete app if inappropriate ads continue.
