[Discover] Exclude selected Playlists from Taste Profile and Discover Suggestions

[jojospot]

I play music off Spotify for my bubba to fall asleep to. This is typically classical/meditative relaxing style tracks. Since she sleeps 4 times a day this type of music is getting a LOT of playtime but is not representative of my music taste. I'm finding my Discover Weekly (which I LOVE by the way) is moving more away from my music and more towards the classical/chill out stuff I play for the little one. 

Would be super cool to be able to mark a playlist to exclude it from the Discover algorithm.

Thanks!

This is a great idea.

Discover Weekly used to be the main way that I found new music. Until I started playing Overwatch and playing Trance music compliment it. Now I only get Trance music every week in the discovery queue. Which I don't need!. How do we bump this up the idea chain...its been suggested every year but it always gets closed.. which seems a bit silly.

Yep, need to exclude a couple of playlists (for kids) from Spotify's intelligence algorithm so they don't influence Discovery weekly, most played etc.

Please do this ASAP. I have to create playlists of songs I play in a band but would never listen to otherwise.  It is killing my discover weekly and the whole point of spotify for me is to discover new music!

Yes, please add a feature that allows you to exclude from the discover weekly algorithm (a) a specific playlist, (b) a particular artist or album that you've saved, and/or (c) music listened to during a particular session.

If there is an artist I want to check out later, sometimes I save an album to a playlist instead of following the artist - that makes it a lot easier to come back to later. When I get around to listening to the album I saved, I often decide that I didn't really like the artist and delete that playlist -- but, in the meantime, that playlist is skewing my discover weekly and not always in a good way.

Also, I may listen to a pre-set mood station for running, sleeping, etc., but wouldn't want to listen to similar music in regular rotation. I would want to exclude that listening session from being factored into my Discover Weekly results.

Please, my kids sleep music is ruining my weekly playlist!!!!

Yes! This is exactly what I need - I listen to lots of classical music at work, but don't want it to be part of my discover.

I agree. I listen to concentration and meditation playlists while I work which has completely taken over my Discover Weekly, so much so that I have stopped listening Discover Weekly and end up using Spotify less as a result.

DW was great at first as I genuinely found new music that I wanted to listen to for pleasure. I don't want to "discover" music that I use out of necessity (meditation, concentration) in DW.

Please consider the option to exclude playlists from the Discover Weekly algorithm. DW is a fantastic thing, if it could just only include the music that I actually want to discover.

Thanks!

Same Problem here . I love to listen to the Sleep Playlist from spotify, but because of this, i only get this kind of Music as my Weekly Experience. Excluding  specific Playlistes would be really helpfull. Thanks !

This would be amazing! I have the same problem!
