I'm a new subscriber and was very happy to start with the number of stations and the variety of genres and quickly found two stations that played a good selection of what I like without even any up or down voting. I joined for the personalized station experience, no ads and what was billed as unlimited listening. Yes I know it's unlimited listening but the timeout limit really is a deal killer for me and apparently a lot of others. Like them I find my self in situations where I really enjoy listening to new music that is being picked for me without interaction, the point being "no interaction". Crawling out from under my car or stopping in the middle of a work or household project to confirm "I'm still listening" is not an acceptable annoyance for a paid service. Yes I have read Pandoras policy and reason for this and this is my response. First thing, timing out paid subscribers to save money to finance your free service....Huh! I thought that's what the ads were for, you might try more ads if you need more money and it might also drive more toward your subscription plans. Second, I totally understand and appreciate that you don't want to waste royalties and bandwidth on empty rooms, try making the time out period an adjustable opt-in feature that has to be renewed monthly as this will weed out the lazy people that don't bother turning off when done listening. I honestly hope you're paying attention because I really want to support a music service that is not owned by any of the tech giants (no names) but this one issue will end my subscription if not at l least acknowledged. I love everything else you've done and hope to get some community feedback on this post.
