[Desktop][Other] "Don't play this artist" on desktop

[Din0cheap]

I would like the option to permanently dislike a featured artist like on mobile that I can choose for "Don't play this artist"

e.g for several weeks now various artists and gamechops have appeared in my release calendar. I have absolutely no interest in this band

But I dont have the option to remove the featured artist, which just means the following week a new artist pop ups with gamechops as featured and I have no way to prevent this.

I have event tried blocking gamechops on android but makes no difference

Please reconsider adding this feature. I should be able to listen to a pre-generated playlist or turn on shuffle recommendations without hearing an artist whose music I refuse to listen to or fund

90% of the time I listen to music on desktop app.
It drives me crazy I can't block songs or artists, that I can on my phone.
WTF?!?!

I have tried everything I can find on the internet and I'm still unable to block artists. I'm able to on my phone, but I can't on my laptop. The option to block them doesn't appear, I thought I did before but now its gone. I'm unsure about what I should do.

Hi everyone,

Great news! We're excited to announce that the feature is now also available on the desktop app and the Web Player 😎

If you don't want the app to play a specific artist, you can click the three dots menu of their artist page and select Don't play this artist. The next time a song of theirs comes up, it will automatically be skipped 👍

Spoiler

If you ever change your mind, you can undo the changes at any time by selecting Allow this artist to play instead.

Thank you for for making Spotify better! Your passion and feedback are greatly appreciated 💚

Too late. I have already canceled my subscription and moved to Pandora. Even their free tier is better, so thanks for saving me $14/month.

This is great but I'd also like to see this at the song level and at the album level as well.  Sometimes you love an artist but even your favorites can create an awful song or even a bad album in their career.
