Spotify suggestions in their playlists, how to remove genre?

I personally used to like to go to these suggested playlists like "Discover Weekly", "Daily Mix #" and "Release Radar". I like new music but I made the mistake of liking a "religious" song, just once, and now all those suggestions are more religious than Rock/Blues/Alt etc. I deleted that liked song to no avail. For the life of me I can't get those religious suggestions out of their suggestions. Anyone have this happen to them?

Hi! Thanks for reaching out to the Spotify community with your question,

 

A similar question like yours was asked here. I would suggest the same information taken in that post which are as follows:

 

Currently, it isn't possible to block a genre, but you can hide the artists you don't want to listen to so they don't show up on your recommendations. When listening to a song you don't like on your Made for You playlists, you can tap on the block button which looks like this: 

68747470733a2f2f737570706f72742d61727469636c65732e73706f7469667963646e2e636f6d2f61727469636c6573322f696e6c696e655f69636f6e732f69636f6e5f6e6f2e706e67.png

Which will hide it from the playlist and to avoid that type of songs to be recommended again. You can also go the page of the artist you don't want to listen to > tap on the three-dot menu on the top right corner > Don't play this.

 

As long as you constantly hide the songs/artists you don't like and Like:

68747470733a2f2f737570706f72742d61727469636c65732e73706f7469667963646e2e636f6d2f61727469636c6573322f696e6c696e655f69636f6e732f69636f6e5f68656172742e706e67.png

the ones you do enjoy, the app will adjust to your taste and give you more accurate recommendations.

 

Let me know if you have any other questions,

Jack 🙂

Thanks Jack, I will take those steps in the future.  Appreciate the time and quick, detailed reply!

Glad I could help, if you have any other questions feel free to reach out.

Shame it's not available on desktop applications .... :'(

In a web browser, I go to an artist, click the three dots, there is NO option "Don't play this."
