Make "Don't play this artist" actually block recommendations

Currently, artists I've selected "Don't play this artist" for still show up in sections like "Album Picks." Could Spotify please update this so that blocking an artist truly removes them from all recommendations? This would provide a much cleaner and more personalized experience.

Yeah that just stupid how it works today. This is linked for me to the issue with KI music. Of course I've blocked lots of KI artists and a few of the still show up in my release radar.

Yeah, when using desktop they still play in my playlists even though the song titles are greyed out. I have to manually unblock & reblock every artist I don’t want to come up every time I start up Spotify

Would love this. Came across an AI generated artist that had women in under wear. Sure I can report but I don't know what spotify standards are, I just know I'm not here to get visually charged and to vibe to good music. Even when "explicit" filter is on these artists are still visible.

Yeah, seconding/supporting this. I've had blocked artists show up in Release Radar multiple times now, while for instance being a remixer of a track.
