interested to hear from Pandora folks if you believe you'll be acquired or bankrupt of if you actually believe you still have a future as a standalone company.

      Do you think companies like Apple and Amazon will create their own labels? Create their own artist or take over their contract?

      Just like Netflix and Amazon with their own studio and exclusive content?

      Depressing how that model works. Super entrenched major call the shots. Tech at a super advantage.

    Agree wirh profkswbia. I don't think we will survive as stand alone company in long term but we got cash for short term. we are now like a start-up with cash, only gotcha we are still public company and needs to show numbers. I don't think Spotify can survive either without getting bought from big player. even if you go public, investors will see your books and punish you.

    It's back to business as usual for now (or worse depending on Sirius's views on ondemand). Long term is either getting acquired or a slow death, can't really see the company surviving standalone, especially given then engineering org issues.

    Keep in mind that Pandora is viable ad supported business unlike the others, we have a business without direct deals. The investment in direct deals (for on-demand) is eating up all the cash.

    A slow and painful death would be to go back to pandora from 1 year ago and surf the wave until it dies completely. We have noticed a slow decrease in users but churning 80millions monthly users will take time.

      Yeah, AKA a slow death/decline. The US growth has saturated and International is a huge undertaking (also, it's not happening any time soon, and you need the direct deals anyway, and ignoring that ads don't really work in the rest of the world).
      With going full steam with ondemand and subscriptions you at least get in the growth bandwagon that the market really likes and you're at least equipped with a product that's not a dead end, what happens when Spotify's and Apple's radios get "good enough"?

      So what's the plan? Back to the days of 3-beer lunches and just keeping the lights on while the company bleeds employees left and right?
