Pandora Radio Advertisements

I thought Pandora was supposed to be the human… err… music genome project. And correspondingly they are supposed to know everything about my musical likes and dislikes. Having this information is pretty powerful because you can basically carve out a pretty good idea of “who” each user is by the stations they build - there is a lot of demographic and buying behavior information surrounding music.That being said - why the hell did Pandora Radio think it was appropriate to try and sell me Olympic sports wear (and getting pumped up) why listening to The Finches? I mean, statistically speaking, The Finches are listened to by 20-35 year old hipsters who resent the gym -does Pandora really think they are selling the right product to the right people?

It really makes me question the musical choices they send to me now. And it really makes me worried that I’ll never see the day when an automated system can know who I am, completely.Really hoping that something would know who I am before I die…And to all those marketers out there - buyer beware.
