Ad Feedback - Too many ads

Pandora loses listeners due to the constant ads i mean i paid for the service once and made a mistake and emptied my bank account before pandora pulled their payment out and it bounced the **ahem** out of my account so i cancelled but i like pandora i listen to it daily but what i noticed is it's like they are pushing subscriptions by adding more and more ads and what i mean is this morning i turned it on to get ready to leave and i logged on to a ad but oh well who cares right an after a song started i was like ok cool then after 1 song i get 2 more ads now that's 3 ads in a 7min period and then i got more music but after 2 song's i get 2 more ads so now it's gotten to the point that it's out of control and soon i will be changing platforms now don't get me wrong i don't want to leave but when there are more ads then music itself it's time to leave but i will stick around longer till i get completely fed up

so I’m just replying down here below my answer up above so it has the same timestamp because I’m blown away that after I left that up above, I took the time to voice type out there Customer feedback let him know. I wouldn’t buy anything let him know like many others. I’m unhappy left it at that,switched back over to Pandora to shut it out of my phone and I could you not I get a big old pink and orange’s ad with big O letters it says that add free feeling, and now that the bottom telling me to subscribe to Pandora

 

first time that’s ever hit the account and it’s right after I come to this page and then tell them after logging this in and connecting it to my account that I would not give them a dime I mean is that just not a big middle finger to the the listener or what

I took a screenshot, which means it would have a timestamp, I certainly wish that I could attach it here, but all I can do is apparently attach a URL or something from the chain of above what a shame don’t want folks thinking I’m making that up just absolutely disgusting

It's a shame, really.  Pandora used to be a decent music streaming service until they got greedy and started playing ads.  I guess it's about time to start using Spotify more.

Sorry Pandora...its time to go.

I've been a listener for many years. I've even promoted your service.  It's time to find another service. 

I didn't mind the occasional commercials especially when they were tastful and not annoying.  However,  now 1 song then 2 commercials or more is not acceptable. You've lost your purpose of your service,  thus so have I, and I'll also make my comments known on Social Media.

It's a complete disrespect to your customers. I understand their purpose,  but there is a point where it's just too much.

I've truly enjoyed your format mixing other artists along with a station. It allowed me to be introduced to new artists and styles.

However when other decisions are made which make it more important than the original service...disrespectful to the customer base, than its services are no longer valid. Time to make a change.

I wish it was different and realize when you get the new system of more commercials than songs it's impossible to turn back.

For me and those I'll influence,  it's time for a new music service.

I recently changed my password and now I get advertisements every second and third song and never used to get advertisements like this
