My Question or Issue

Is there any way to block Russian artists in my Discover Weekly?

So that I don't see them in my recommendations EVER?

The same!!

I want NO russian artists in my playlists. Because listening to their songs = paying money to them = literally sponsoring bombs on me.

Can I block all russian artists at all? I want none of that in my playlists.

P.S. I listen none of that, so it's not an algorithm thing.

Same issues, hate this.

Developers, are you read support tickets at all?
We don't ask for block russians, which will be nice, of course.
But we just asked to remove their language from our suggestions, that's all.
Just block all content in russian for specific user options.
You have language parameters in API, just implement a god damn fix for that, please.

unrelated songs in a language i dont even speak on my discover weekly

My problem has been going on for months. Im so tired of having Iranian or Russian artists popping on my discover weekly playlists even though I NEVER listen to them or even I dont speak of that language. I cant get rid of them and there isnt even an option like "dont show me suggestions like this anymore" button or sth. I dont enjoy my discover weekly playlists at all. I need a way to fix this.

I have the same problem. I don't want to listen to songs in Russian. I don't want to listen to podcasts in Russian. I never listened to them. Why does Spotify keep offering them to me? This is insulting considering that Russia is currently destroying my country and my people. Every minute, I and my loved ones can die from Russian. And at the same time, I cannot prohibit these recommendations and am forced to constantly wade through them

How tf is streaming Russian music sponsoring bombs? What do artists have to do with the government and military?

They're just minding their own business and making a living, it's ridiculous.

first, they pay taxes that go towards bombs and rockets. second, they support aggressive war and genocide.

and thirdly, I don't care whether they are for or against the war. I don't want to hear the language spoken by those who killed my friends.

All rivers begins as tiny stream. Taxes converts into rockets and bullets against Ukraine. Every day missles, drones are trying to hit Ukraine. russian hackers had hack the cell mobile company Kyivstar a week ago.

Spotify supports the offense of Ukrainians by putting russian artists that glorify their aggressive country
