Stick to the Thumb Down Button in Pandora for the Best Variety of Music
If you’re tired of getting the same music recommendations from Pandora – or just need a little more variety – don’t use the thumb button and stick to skipping tracks you don’t like.
As Reddit user neccoguy21 explains , when you press the thumbs up button, Pandora tries to find you more songs like this one. However, when you press the thumbs down button, Pandora dodges the song, but still tries to find music you might like in its vast, eclectic catalog.
Overuse of the thumb-up button can lead to Pandora pulling you into a narrow niche. Sure, you liked the Metallica songs while listening to them, but you also like Frank Sinatra. While not guaranteed to work 100% of the time, dropping the thumb button may help keep Pandora from getting you in the box.
LPT: When using Pandora, never use your thumbs up, only down. | Reddit via MakeUseOf
