Pandora Prediction

I’ve been a big advocate of our clients running on Pandora and I actually like them  as a company but I have a new Ad Hustler prediction.  By Q4 2013 or Q1 2014 we will see a huge decrease in subscribers to Pandora’s user base.  They of course will downplay it but the bottom line is that Pandora is not positioned for a long term play in this space.  People are tiring of the Pandora algorithm, saying it’s gettin repetitive and complaining about the ads.  Unfortunately they’ve taken a very TRADITIONAL approach to advertising with obtrusive and interruption ads and that along with STIFF competition will be their undoing.  I think Spotify is well positioned for the iTunes like play for people who love choosing exactly what artists they listev to and Songza is going to dominate the music discovery market.

What are your streaming music predictions?

  1. Agree, as a subscription based streaming service – Spotify is far more superior. Never had a need to pay for Pandora but have been a paying customer of spotify for a while now. It’s actually cheaper and more convenient to use them to listen to your favorite songs than ANY other method (free or paid).

  2. I drop a leave a response when I appreciate a post on
    a site or I have something to valuable to contribute to the conversation.
    Usually it’s a result of the fire displayed in the article I looked at. And after this article Pandora Prediction | Ad Hustler. I was actually excited enough to drop a thought 😛 I do have a few questions for you if it’s allright.
    Could it be just me or does it give the impression like some of the remarks come across like they are coming from brain dead visitors?

    😛 And, if you are writing on other places, I’d like to keep up with anything fresh you have to post. Could you list every one of your social sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

  3. Hello there! Would you mind if I share your blog with my twitter group?

    There’s a lot of folks that I think would really appreciate your content.
    Please let me know. Many thanks
