[All Platforms] "Don't Like Button" should be added to all sections

Hello everyone,

 

I am not sure why it keeps changing between updates, although in the past Daily Mixes have the Like & Dislike button. But this time around it has been completely removed and is only available Under Your Weekly Discovery.

 

It would be nice if the "Don't Like Button" was added everywhere, from Weekly Discovery, Daily Mixes, even when searching specific songs, albums, genres etc. to better filter our music preferences.

Also I find on Android on the drop down menu the Don't like button rarely ever works and have to enter the app directly. Like always works perfectly fine.

 

I would appreciate it if this could be considered.

Thank you

kinda crazy how this was posted before artist mixes, decade mixes, genre mixes, mood mixes & niche mixes were created, also now the homescreen shows previews of playlists/albums we dont even like! im gonna get so mad if i see any mumble (c)rap all over my recommendations but no pop punk, emo or ANYTHING alternative again...wait i already am

 

PLEASE DO SOMETHING! WERE THE 1S PAYING FOR THIS BULL$H1T!

ayyyy_lmao

How are your dumb recommendation algorithms supposed to work without feedback from the user? this is so crazy.

in the age of AI recommendations the biggest music platform can't write a simple dislike button in half a decade! how anyone subscribes to**bleep** is beyond me

What is the latest on this now, Spotify?

 

I'd like to be able to stop certain songs from being played, like ever. I lost my best mate and now there's a ton of songs that I don't particularly want to, or can't listen to again, yet Spotify keeps popping them up in it's automatically generated playlists and I have no way to stop them from being played. This is either on the Windows desktop app or on the Android mobile app.

 

It's a bit ridiculous that we're not given this seemingly obvious option to stop songs from being on playlists, or given the ability to block songs app-wide on our accounts.

this needs implementing it's a basic feature!

I find it annoying that spotify constanly recomends podcast's  that I'm not intresred in. there is only the options to like, save or share. but no option to tell your algorithm I don't like it.

Thanks

Absolutely ridiculous that this isn't implemented. What the **bleep** is the point of such a feature, if you can only use it on 20% of content?

I love the personalized playlists but I would love to see a feature where you can click on a dislike button to stop that song from being recommended or being in playlists like daylists.

What happened? Five years ago someone asked for a simple feature, to blacklist specific songs from ever playing in our accounts. With tons of support from paying users, and nobody's interests would be harmed if the feature is implemented, yet Spotify promotes garbage DJ gimmicks instead and doesn't listen to its customers.

 

With my kids moving out and me having tons of other options, I am seriously considering cancelling my premium account of 8 years.

I absolutely cannot stand that I can't dislike a song. This one stupid song keeps ending up on my playlists and the "Don't play this song" button has been gone. I do not like the song, I hardly like the artist, and I cannot stop the daily playlists from playing them.

 

I'm not sure if this is some scammy vibe with record labels to ensure their artists get plays or what, but, unfortunately for them, liking and disliking songs goes hand in hand. Only being able to like songs or add them to a playlist is only half of the desired functionality.

 

In the same vein, one time I tried to stop a certain "era" of an artist from playing by disliking all of their albums after a time period, but instead, I ended up blocking the artist from being playable.

 

Please, please, please, be considerate of the fact that I may not like some song from an album, and entire album, or an entire artist. Assuming that you're getting skip data isn't working for me anymore, because the same bad songs show up on my playlists and I have no recourse.
