Leaving Pandora because of political ads spam.
As title claims, goodbye. Almost 20 years using Pandora, can't stand the political ad spam anymore. Stop spreading hate.

@AdamPandora Unfortunately the very basic info you provided does not help with the issue that I asked about. It is NOT about what songs have been thumbed up or down, it's about my playlist being modified without any input after several months. This being said I may have found the root cause to the issue, because it is now affecting some of my other stations. Pandora is/has been losing the rights to play certain songs/artists. Tracks that were once thumbed up or down are now shown as unavailable. Which means regardless of where my thumbs are, my list can be modified by Pandora itself without any input from myself. This is a real shame.

Hello! My station "My Land is Burning" suddenly started playing songs that I do not want on masse without any changes to Thumps Up or Thumps Down songs. I've had this happen before over the years (I've had the station since 2007), but it has been getting worse in the last couple of years, and the only solution was to completely wipe my Thumbs Down/Thumps Up and start back from the beginning. It is getting tiresome doing so though. Every time I get the station where I want it lasts a few months and I have to start over. Is there a reason this keeps happening? Why does it only affect my favorite and most listened to station? Is there some way to help prevent this from happening more in the future? Thanks for any help!
I would like to have some sort of official response as to why this issue continues to happen for someone who has used Pandora since its infancy. These issues have been compounding far too much recently to the point that I have seriously considered leaving the platform for a more generic one.

I've had a particular station for many, many years and tried not to modify it too much. I noticed around 5-6 months ago it started suggesting songs wayyyyyyyyyy outside the normal. I decided to start thumbing those songs down. Suddenly my station completely changed what it would play. It would still play songs I liked, but not the genre I liked. Finally, earlier this week I decided to do some investigation and saw that Thumbs down seems to impact a station more than Thumbs up so I went into my Thumbs down and removed some of the songs in there.
After 5-6 months I FINALLY heard the song that I created the station around play. Somehow it had been removed from my Thumbs up songs, even though it was still in my Thumbs up collection. And it was not in my Thumbs down list that I changed. Why would Pandora do this? The station that I've had for I believe 10+ years at this point is being modified without my knowledge.
