Not a bad music streaming service, basic account is free. You set up your “station” or even multiple stations, by choosing a song that you like. Their algorithms then choose other music to play that should suit your taste, but if not, you give it a thumbs down and that enables the station to better learn your preferences.
It takes a little while, maybe a few weeks if you’re listening daily, but once you get it honed down via thumbs up and thumbs down, Pandora can provide you with a lot of music that you enjoy from artists and bands that you would have never heard of otherwise. If you have varied tastes, set up several “stations,” an alt rock station, a classical station, a country station, etc.
I really dislike seeing commercial enterprises getting political like this. I’m not paying anything so I’m not going to drop it, but if I were paying I’d seriously consider doing so.
Funny watching the reactions though. So many eyes are wearing the goggles of assumptions.
I paid for Pandora when it was $36/yr. I dropped them when they increased 40% but did not include a larger catalog, and took annual billing feature away. Better alternatives out there - have not missed it.
I know what Pandora is. All my GF’s have it. I just didnt have time to set it up for my own musical tastes. One of them even said “sweetie, what is this Cannibal Corpse? the lyrics are disgusting. Are you sick?”
If you’re not paying, Pandora gets ad revenue. It’s probably based on how many listeners are receiving the ads.
I did see Pandora ‘s Facebook page. Anyone dropping Pandora is being called a racist exercising “white privilege”.
