Heads up to the Pandora team responsible for tracking/reporting subscriber volume:
The number of free subscribers is somewhat over-inflated. So, be sure to add a footnote when presenting to leadership that says something like: "There are fewer free subscribers than this slide indicates. One driving factor is that users are required to create an additional separate account in order to ask questions/post on forums related to login issues." When you start to see all the puzzled faces, just remain calm and explain that 'login issues' typically means the user cannot login - and since you cannot actively participate in a forum without logging in, there's a 'catch-22' situation for which the simple, timely solution is to create the additional account to be used for the sole purpose of asking questions in a forum. You may also want to note that these are all existing subscribers that are now frustrated by the login issue as well as Pandora's embarrassing oversight, which can only be explained by ignorance, laziness, indifference, or intentional sabotage from disgruntled workers. Feel free to present this account as a use case.
Thanks - i appreciate the response! no need to email, as the address i provided when creating this account is fake. i just needed to create an account so that i could log in and ask about my inability to...well...log in 🔂
