[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.

I came here to suggest something like this only to be told it was "implemented" what a joke... Youre recommendations are NO GOOD for me... I know theyre celebrated but they dont work for me... So let me remove them or have some control over what im forced to interact with.

Great, now it's impossible to like comments to show support. What kind of a **bleep**ing scam is this forum?

Haha yes, trying to be positive but ... the entire forum feels like a huge waste of time for us, users (customers!) of Spotify. Sometimes I think they created the forum to keep us busy and hopeful that things will change for the better, while in realtiy they don't care at all. There are so many things that don't work well and/or are big UX mistakes (both desktop and mobile) and I see no real improvements over time.

I'd like your comment, but that's not possible anymore. So yeah, I very much agree, Edwin71

Does the "Not Interested" button still exist?? Spotify feels like it's the only platform I pay but can't customize what I see on my app and it's infuriating..

This should be available for those playlist of global trends, which are basically BS
