Hey Pandora, what really is the decision to not maintain a feature that has become a cultural tradition? This goes beyond Spotify. Social media sites provide a year in review in one way or another. Heck, even Steam is providing a year in review. I have been paying for premium for a couple years now. I always say Pandora has the best algorithm for finding new music. The service started as a radio station and till this day even with premium I'm listening to a radio station 90% of the time. The only non-obtuse reasons I can think of for not providing it; is to "distinguish" yourself from the other music services (which may be obtuse anyway). Or because of cost reduction polices Available data shows that Pandora has been losing monthly listeners since 2016. But apparently revenue has been up in recent years. Please do not let shortsightedness be the unraveling that Pandora's recent success has been. If adding this feature is too much of a cost burden with the additional resources required to maintain these database entries for each user than that indicates to me that Pandora is operating on a very tight budget or Sirius XM Holdings is being greedy/in dire straights. Either way, not leaning into what has become a western world holiday tradition at this point is a mistake. Whats better than free advertising? I wanted my friends to ask, "You not on spotify!?" and I would have said, "NO! I pay for Pandora Premium!"
