I have been a subscriber for 15 years now. I have literally over 200 stations. If each station played five different songs, then that would be over 1000 different songs that could be selected at random when in shuffle play. Instead, Pandora keeps playing anything I’ve thumbs up to the point where I get so sick of the song that I have to thumbs down it, which means it won’t be played again. Despite reaching out to Pandora, TechSupport, and complaining about the algorithm, and the fact that it doesn’t play anything new anymore ever, I’ve received no tangible input suggestions, or anything, so I’m going to cancel my subscription. I’ve tried to support the service instead of moving to Apple Music or Spotify, but I’m done. If anyone’s listening over at Pandora, you might want to listen to your customers, you might want to listen when they say the service is not doing what it is supposed to do. Unfortunately, I suspect the whole thing is ran by AI with very few humans are in the loop, and it’s on auto pilot. Great job in bringing me to the point of where I now just about hate songs I used to love, and that brought me joy.
