Ad Feedback - Political Ads

Remove Sleep Joe Biden Ads or i will stop using.

I've had Pandora for years and now I'm stuck listening in between songs an ad for I.C.E.. I will not have it. There's other music services and that's where I'll put my money. You have the right to choose your revenue sources and you chose poorly. Staying neutral in politics and religion is always the best bet to keep your subscribers. Clearly, you don't need my or my people's money. You're promoting, in a sense, the wrong side of what will be history. My money is where you help and uplift humanity just as music was intended to be since the beginning of time. You'll get an outcome just like Disney did.

Pretty lame Pandora is putting Ice adds on their platform that tell Police to assist in their "mission". Shame.

Ive noticed that the ad in english gives a different tone in spanish. The ad in english talks about criminals and child rapists that have been "accused" (mind you - not prosecuted) but the spanish version of the ad is welcoming to immigrants "coming in the right way". These are different tones to different audiences and are simply pushing more animosity. This is grotesque!!!

Ive noticed that the Kristi Noem ad in english gives a different tone in spanish. The ad in english talks about criminals and child rapists that have been "accused" (mind you - not prosecuted) but the spanish version of the ad is welcoming to immigrants "coming in the right way". These are different tones to different audiences and are simply pushing more animosity. This is grotesque!!! These ads do not even play for my husband whom does not have spanish language radios on his formula. This isnt a family friendly product anymore - I can't even play "Super Simple Songs" radio with my kids because these grotesque ads start to play. Why would you sell yourself to bipartisan politics Pandora? Why even offer radio stations in multilingual options if what your listeners will experience is a sense of deprevation from the stigma your ads feed? I am cancelling my subscription and I will make sure that everyone in my inner circle is aware of your tactics. In today's evolving technical landscape - don't assume you are the only player....

Pandora,

Stop allowing ICE ads. As a music platform you should realize that all people have value. And our differences are what make a community great and healthy. ICE ads are totally inappropriate as are any political advertisements for any party. It is abhorrent to me that you would condone body snatching of people, and makes me sad that you don't have a backbone to keep you upright. Don't accept money from bigots and traitors, it's all red. This is disgraceful.

I can't believe what I just heard. An ad for ICE! Really pandora you are dipping that low. Don't feed me the PC response of "they didn't break our rules"...did you listen to the ad. It is blatantly propaganda meant to paint an entire group of people as dangerous and appeals to the racists among us. It is propaganda like this that will lead to violence against minorities by emboldening a certain demographic. When history looks back at this time I hope they paint you and every other company that took this blood money in the most negative light.

And no the answer is not just to request people to spend money to get rid of the ads. Because let's be honest if I were to do that I would be actively supporting a company that clearly values money over people's lives.

Pandora runs ICE ads. Resist this regime at all costs - don't be a a Nazi. 

"Nice people made the best Nazis. My mom grew up next to them. They got along, refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly and focused on happier things than 'politics.' They were lovely people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away. You know who weren't nice people? Resisters."

Very disappointed that Pandora is playing ICE ads. I just signed up for a subscription to replace my Spotify account. Now am canceling my Pandora. Do better.

If you are hearing ads you are using the free plan, those ads are the reason you can listen for free. If you don’t want ads get a paid subscription.  People constantly complain about ads but don’t want to pay for a subscription. Someone is going to pay , either the ads are paying for you to listen or you will. If you want others to pay for you to listen, not sure you can be picky about the ads.

Or just devalue this platform altogether and stop streaming from them. I got on here to see how others were responding to these irresponsible RECRUITING ads for ICE. Bye, Pandora. We had a great relationship for years, but this is where we split up. #valuesovermoney #putyourvalueswhereyourmoneyis

I.C.E. Ad (propaganda trash, from President Pedo, involved in human trafficking ring)

Just throwing this out here. I’ve been a long time user (almost daily) of Pandora and have absolutely always loved it. I just heard this I.C.E. Advertisement for the first time though. I can’t believe the absolute garbage I just heard. I will gladly stop using your services if this is the type of stuff you will be selling out for. 

[Trevor1]

You are using the free service, someone has to pay for you to be able to listen for free. In this  case, I.C.E. is paying for you.  Here is a very simple solution, get an actual subscription and pay to listen for yourself and you will not hear any commercials.  Threatening to stop using a service you aren’t paying for isn’t much of a threat.

Cancelling my decades long pandora subscription because I just learned about the ICE ads and the financial contributions to Trump.

Airing these ads is not only promoting propaganda, but spreading hate and indecency. I cannot in good conscience use this platform and hold Pandora responsible for promoting hatred, bigotry, racism and violence. It is beyond shameful and I am outraged that my children were exposed to that advertisement while listening to Christmas music. Living with this decision will be the consequence of submitting to the evil this is spreading. I hope the monetary damages match those of the integrity of whoever makes these decisions.

Paying or not, the decision to air these ads speaks volumes about the values or lack there of. Paying for the service seems to encourage the willingness to advance hate in the world. Hope you enjoy the music platform that profits crimes against humanity.
