Add a "dislike" button, so the algorithm will stop playing songs I dislike

[joegrunge]

Hi there, i'm Rodrigo

I noticed that after some of my playlists are over i get the random songs, but sometimes this things is playing songs i'm starting to dislike. I liked them before, but the software is so annoying that plays this songs constantly that made me dislike them.

So, how about to add a "dislike" button for songs? I mean, right now the software only allows us to "like" the songs and to add them to our favorites. 

Please, improve the UI.

Cheers, 

-Rodrigo.

Additionally, you should be able to indicate why you dislike the song. Because the algorithm could think that you dislike the entire artist or genre of the song, but you only dislike this song.

The way it constantly tries to push Taylor Swift onto me is ridiculous. The only time I listen to her is if she pops up in my 2010's playlist, and I don't often listen to that playlist (I think I even only have 3 of her songs in there). Smart shuffle will add her into any playlist I'm currently listening to. Taylor Swift playlists in my suggestions. Spotify should know I'm not seeking out to listen to her.

i remember years ago there used to be a dislike button like this: 🚫

i dont think i ever actually used it but we need it now, not just for Made for You playlists but ALL playlists including user playlists & previews! basically it needs to be as prominent as the like/add to playlist button

what im boutta say next probably sounds like it should me my own idea not a comment but if the user selects a song they dislike it goes to a disliked songs "playlist" (not a proper playlist) found somewhere like settings or even liked songs as a hidden side. if they change their mind & decide they either like or dont mind a certain song they can go to disliked songs & remove the song

this could really improve my recommendations, their not looking great rn cuz my taste drastically changed just a couple months ago! a dislike button might help stop spotify holding onto old tastes

@snak3422 i think this should be applied to liked songs so if i got a song from a genre/artist i dont really dig spotify doesnt keep tirelessly telling me i love the entire genre/artist

also @t-vrc8-ybqouk the same thing happens to me, only its with mumble rap

People have been asking for the return of a 'dislike' button for years. Listen to your PAYING Customers, and fix this massive oversight already! Not being able to block songs we HATE from being played in playlists etc is ridiculous. Using the 'Hide This Song' option under the three dots only seems to work in the current session and device. The next time I launch the same playlist, or launch it on another device, the song is no longer hidden. I'm on the verge of cancelling my subscription over this.

I feel you. I make a list. They add songs that I  dislike  What do I dislike? anything I did not put in the last. Does the management understand what the word list means?

there is a "-" button that show up when spotify is autoplaying music. It doesnt reccomend that song when pressed

We need a like button as we need also a dislike button! Look to YouTube Music! Look to YouTube! Look to other music streaming apps! Spotify is like a very old grandpa - out of time in the 21th century

And put this feature on podcasts too! I ran out of episodes. It gave me a random and it KEEPS COMING UP. Take it away!

The thought is a good Idea.

A problem is some recommended songs are not what I am interested in "at the moment" or don't fit the chosen list. Often a good song is in a good play list that doesn't fit the mood. A simple thumbs down might block it from other lists. A delete/block from my account/library might work for a tune that I never want to hear again. A drop down choice could help. (Block/skip in this list) (Block/skip from my account).

Also when a list is completed, Often the recommended following music doesn't sync well with my chosen list . Some option would be nice but complicated.

I appreciate being introduced to new music, The AI bot hasn't learned how to choose music similar to my choices very well.
