@ardennes The next time this happens, please give the out of place track that plays a thumbs down and write us back with the following: ...
This canned response to this issue - I received it possibly three times - is unreasonable and impractical. We are not all sitting around with notepad or open doc poised to capture the precise detail of the inappropriate selection. We have the Pandora station in the background, and are possibly, even likely, playing Pandora on a non-computing device like a Roku TV. And, I may mention, we are probably doing something else much more important at that moment.
What I find especially annoying now, is that I have several “radios” of various soft ambient artists that, after a few weeks of use, are being melded into each other because of these thumbs crossovers. Artist preference goes out the window, and there is no simple way to reset the “radio” to start over.
This thread has been active for five years, which means but one thing: Pandora’s management knows full-well that this is happening because they have authorized their AI system to function in this way. It’s unlikely to change, and if it does change, it’ll only happen when subscription non-renewals are measurably impacting the bottom line.
Very frustrating. But that said, “It is what it is,” and I’m continuing to put up with it. The only viable competing option requires too much hand-holding to get an equivalent mix. I have other things to do.
