Taste profile is messed up

[Lrngully]

I used my Spotify account at work (a restaurant) for a short while. I have deleted all of the playlists we used to use, but my taste profile is still all wrong. It thinks I like Country and Bob Seger. Is there any way to recalibrate my taste profile so it can suggest songs I actually like? I miss my Discover Weekly! Help!

Hey @Lrngully, thanks for writing!

Unfortunately there's no immediate solution for this. Discovery Weekly is something we build over time, so I'm afraid you'll have to restart listening to the things you like and then over the weeks you'll see the good stuff showing up again 🙂

Hmmm that sucks. It’s been about 6 months and my lists are all still super
lame. That was one of the main features about Spotify that made it worth
the subscription.

Unfortunately, just listening to your own playlists full of music you DO prefer has ABSOLUTELY ZERO EFFECT on the Discover Weekly playlist generation; adding a "thumbs down" doesn't seem to, either.. this is after more than a year of trying exactly that. And why on earth would I even consider starting fresh with another account, as suggested in other threads, when Spotify couldn't get this right with the first account? I have no interest in playlists generated based on what other people who also listened to these songs enjoy.. that skews the entire point of generating a playlist based upon what I enjoy.  You've  literally got THOUSANDS of requests to implement a reset feature for Discover Weekly, across multiple threads.. listen to your customers and FIX IT ALREADY.

It won't be possible to do that right away, because Discover Weekly is created through the songs and songs you hear daily, so you need time now to recreate what it was like before.
