So, if I hear Pandora correctly, I pay you for your service, yet you want me to do the work to train my station? And you expect that no matter what activity I am involved, I'm supposed stop, pull my phone out, open the app, and hit the thumbs? For example, when I'm driving, you want me now to take my eyes off the road to train your station? You prefer your algorithm over my safety. Got it. Why in the world would you allow a song outside that decade to play on that station? Why? It makes no sense. Neither does hitting a thumbs down on those songs because I do enjoy those songs, I just don't want to hear a song from 2019 when I'm listening to 80s or 90s music. Hitting thumbs down, while you call it training the station, does not make logical sense. Fixing your algorithm does! Maybe when the station is created, prompt the user to indicate if they would allow similar songs outside the decade. If they say no, keep those songs out. It is not a difficult ask. I am a product owner that oversees software development. I know this is easy. Show you care for crying out loud, you are now charging more for the same service.
