Pandora is laying off 7% of its US workforce

I liked spotify but requiring a fb account to listen is pretty lame. Don't know if they've modified that requirement.

I have had Spotify for about a year and have never had to connect Facebook.

They must have, i'm a Spotify sub and i've never used FB with Spotify. At least, that i remember. I rarely (read: maybe once a year) login to FB so i despise any FB-only login services.

How opposed would you be to creating a shell fb account with zero personal info and a fake name, in order to log in to products? I realize you shouldn't have to take this extra step, but so many wonderful products DO require an fb login...

I'll pass/do without. Products should not force users to take any action they are opposed to.
