The real solution is to delete you premium account and stop using their service until they start listening. I say that because, after consideration, I believe this has been going on for a lot longer than what Pandora is acknowledging. To put this into perspective, I had 25 plus stations, 7,000+ thumbs up, my taste span the globe and Pandora was running 60+ hours per week. About 3 years ago I deleted all my stations because I got bored. It worked back then. Little over a year ago I changed my thumbs up policy because I got tired of hearing the same music but did not want to delete all my stations and seeds. I got to the point where I stopped thumbing up and would un-thumb any thumbed up song. The expectation was to force the algorithm to expand my selection. Instead it got stuck. After a couple months I escalated my attack and started thumbing down any song that I remembered hearing in the last few days(many songs had become twice a day). I started my thumbs down policy mid 2020 and within a week I came to the conclusion that it wasn't working. Another month+ I had enough time to restart my Pandora only to find the real problem. After I deleted all my stations, created a couple new ones (different station name and seeds) and all the same music came flooding back. In addition to accessing the Pandora catalog we are also paying for access to the Pandora algorithm and their service no longer matches the underlying concept. I was really hoping to come back to the forum and find a solution. I'm guessing I am not the first to cancel my premium account and stop using your service.
