I've read all of the replies on the first page and would like to add that I do not use Alexa or any other robot brain and I am strictly the only user who doesn't even use the suggestions option for creating longer playlists or new stations. I've been getting bombarded with new playlists that I haven't consented to that are titled in a way that suggests it's personalized but when opened it's 15 songs by one artist and maybe 2 or 3 by others-none of whom I knew existed. This suggests to me that it may be a way for the company to promote new artists who pay Pandora to 'push' them into people's accounts. I've seen the same unknown Latin female singer pop up constantly as well as Lil Jeezy? Um... I have personally had my Pandora account for I believe 7 years or more. I had a free account for a year but have paid ever since and even went along with the hike in price. What I will Not go along with is forced advertising invading personal space that I have paid to own. I've been in this current residential location for almost 5 years and the addition of both formats of unwanted stations/lists as well as Constantly stopping my music because "someone else is listening" is total BS. As a massive corporate conglomerate we all know that start-up level issues like these can hardly be mistakes. With all of the other options out there, this is certainly Not the way to show customer appreciation. It's just plain unacceptable. [And if it makes any difference, my phone is an HTC Desire 816...this thing came out in 2015 and it's the same phone I've had the entire time. HTC doesn't even support backing it up anymore so it's impossible for it to be an upgrading issue with new technology coming in. My phone can only handle the rawest of basics and nothing more.]
