Interesting Bruce. Sounds like they got you invested in the ecosystem with your channels. I never really used Pandora other than initially playing around with it a little around 10 years ago, but I became an amazon prime member a couple years ago. You can download the free “amazon music” app and there’s a ton of music free to prime members. There are playlists of all kinds, but what I like is the on demand music. There is a ton available. Some have lyrics that scroll as the song plays. It’s great.
If anyone is wondering, I created the poll because Rick Munarriz of RB mentioned pandora in the 2018-picks RB podcast. He mentioned it as a possible acquisition / turnaround play, of course, but it is hard for me to see who would need to buy them or why. Also tough to see them figuring out how to monetize better, especially as they are losing users. I’m probably not interested as an investment. The poll is kind of confirming my disinterest, as it seems more folks have moved on from pandora than are still using it and enjoying it. I think it has a place and may limp along, but I don’t see a ton of hidden value there.
