DJ interactivity - Thumbs up/thumbs down to influence the AIs algorithm

[kmasters21]

I would love to see more interactivity with the DJ.

For about 2 weeks straight the DJ was just playing different types of metal for me and while I enjoy that I listen all day at work and I need a change of pace throughout the days

If I "like" a song it gets added to my liked song list and sometime I would just like to provide feedback directly to the AI like a "Great song choice, play some more like this" instead of pressing the AI button and making it 'Switch it up a bit' by playing some more metal
to implement this a simple thumbs up/ thumbs down icon that only influences the AIs algorithm would be all you need.  It could even be built upon more buy a double thumbs up/down to indicate I really like/dislike this band or song but I like the genre.  The reason for this is sometimes I get a song that I am really enjoying a lot and the very next song just doesn't hit for me.  I don't want to hit the button and bring the AI in to change it up because im liking the genre but not that song.  while you could argue that skipping the song works that way maybe im skipping a song that I dont like at that time but its still a good song, I still want to hear it just not now. 

having a little more influence over the AI would be greatly appreciated.  I typically listen to it all day, but when all it offers me is metal, and im wanting some rock, pop, EDM, dance, 80 rock, or indie I have to go out and search playlists for music. 

I feel implementing a simple thumbs up/down would be much more beneficial to the User, the AI, and Spotify as a whole to help the AI learn individual preferences, and more capable of getting you the right song at the right time

I found this thread from the search "DJ Feedback".

I think the DJ could be more useful if users could tailor and modify it's algorithm.

  Perhaps less repetition of specific artists I have listened to but play other artists in the same genre as the artists I frequently listen to.

Also maybe be able to prompt the AI (DJ) with a genre, artist or word and see what it (he) finds.

Perhaps alternate DJs? I like the semi funky dude DJ but maybe have a few alternates for variety.

In general more user input and feedback beyond the current DJ button that should perhaps be labeled "no, anything but this."
