[Discover] Please add a "Not Interested" Button

As the title suggests, it would be useful if Spotify had a "not interested" button like YouTube does for videos. I have been using Spotify for many years and still receive a lot of recommendations for playlists and podcasts that I am simply not interested in. One such example is "Learn Korean and Korean Culture" by jerry. I have no interest in learning Korean whatsoever, so it would be useful for me to remove recommendations such as these.

Hi everyone,


Thank you for all the support and feedback you've given to this idea!


We have some exciting news to share with you: in the mobile app, it's now possible to remove content recommendations from the subfeeds (Music and Podcasts & Shows) of your Home screen by tapping Not interested in the context menu of the cards:

The content you mark as "not interested" will instantly be removed from your subfeed and won't show up again. Any other songs/albums/episodes by that artist/podcast show will also be filtered out from future recommendations.


After tapping Not interested, an Undo button will pop up at the bottom of the screen for a short time so you can revert the changes.


Keep in mind that this feature is gradually rolling out, so if you don't see the button in the context menu of the cards, we'd recommend making sure that you're running the latest version of Spotify. If you're having trouble with, or have any other questions about this feature, feel free to reach out in the relevant Help board here.


Thanks again for helping us make Spotify better. We're always striving to provide the best possible user experience and your feedback is always appreciated.

Too little too late. You just lost another two customers.  I can now indefinitely select 'not interested' and I'll get all sorts of **bleep** blasted at me that starts playing all of a sudden and it sucks. It scares the **bleep** out of me every time.

 

I can't even imagine what sort of wicked creature would come up with this. Who greenlit this? Why? Do you hate humanity?

 

Literally tone-deaf. Just started a Deezer trial. Google Deezer. Look at that beautiful user interface that is made with the end user in mind. Super refreshing.

I have yet to see this option actually available. I'm on Android version 8.8.22.510 and there is no option to remove certain podcasts from my Home page at all.

 

I'm extremely frustrated that Spotify continues to mark issues as "implemented" or "solved" despite the fact that they've legitimately done nothing.

@snollebol, same with me. Just startet Deezer and AppleMusic trial, to see what fits better. 
Our Familyplan with Spotify is Historie. Just to ignorant and pushing these Podcast to much for my flavor.

Following the moves into podcasts and Audiobooks the home screens had become a crowed mess.

 

Now they're a crowded mess that move. As videos of artists I've absolutely no interest in blast their way into my world. Obviously there's no way of turning this off as Spotify have decided this is exactly what I need.

 

Even my teenage kids are complaining about it. Who in their right mind thought this was a good idea? And what were the bosses smoking when they approved it?

Hi Spotify team, this is still no available for desktop nor spotify version for phones under Android 9, which happen to be the two ways I interact with spotify the most, so, for me, it shouldn't be in "Implemented" status yet. I hope it comes soon to those platforms.

I already found the option in Android 9, and it doesn't really work for what we all expected as far as I can read.

They say in the update "it's now possible to remove content recommendations from the subfeeds (Music and Podcasts & Shows)", and those subfeeds are not the home screen, or at least not the main one, so nothing changes here, for me, it's not implemented at all.

Great, but how do I get rid of a podcast (Meditation Sounds) that automatically added itself to the top of my home screen after I listened to one episode? It's not showing up in the lower suggestions, and no, I am not following said podcast.

Still doesn't work, can't see this option.

A step in the right direction but only in the tile sub-feed. We need Not Interested for the shows in the main home page feed and Podcasts and Shows feed which never appear in the tiled sub-feed. There is no way of removing unwanted or inappropriate podcasts from the main feeds.

Why can't I see "not interested" when I try to remove a show that I've never listened to from my list?
