Mass Block Feature Implementation

[Kmg8043]

Develop mass categories for blocking out suggestions. Very specific template ideas that do not live inside of a playlist etc but would apply to all playlists and more of a settings feature. Examples: the ability to block music by country of origin, the ability to block music by language sung, the ability to block by genre, the ability to include a range of years to filter out songs based on release or to select entire decades to block, the ability to block non music types of content such as podcasts or comedy. Features that would easily save users hundreds of hours a year in their user experience. I have a playlist of like 700 songs I can listen to year round, I should not have to put in hours of work filtering out content each week. The further I go along in my journey with spotify, the more work you are making me do as a user. It is not a good business model. You should be giving the users more control in easier methods.

I constantly get suggestions in the home page of Spotify with a music genre that is very successful in my home country. However, I hate it and I don't want it anywhere near my Spotify account. Not even in the section with music appreciated in my home country. I want the possibility to exclude a genre, but other criteria for mass block, mentioned in this post are welcome, in my opinion.

I would love the ability to block genres- Every playlist it puts together for me involves TSwift and a lot of Hip Hop- I don't like either on the whole- I feel like most of my recommendations are them just trying to thrust more mainstream music from my country on me. Which is really frustrating because I used to enjoy the recommendations I would get.

Since I never enjoyed live content I am expecting to see a way to block all and every kind of live or stage performed songs. That is STUDIO ONLY content allowed for search results, radio lists, suggestions etc.
