Unable to remove songs from Discover Weekly

[_fj1-gf6lbp3h]

I'm on the premium plan, using the Windows desktop app version of Spotify.  I'm trying to remove a song from my Discover Weekly playlist, since it's been there before and I didn't think much of it the first time.  The button to do this has been removed.  I can find old posts explaining where it is, and it's not there any more.  How do I remove this song from my playlist?

The "minus" button was the ONLY WAY we can moderate our Discover Weekly playlist. If I must and re-listen all the cheap **bleep** you proposing... Anyway, you steal money from musicians and now you steal from us the function with which we can dislike your **bleep**, fake AI music.

Discover Weekly has become a whole lot less attractive to listen to now.
It is very surprising how such a basic functionality has been removed for this long already.

It's funny that this is happening right now when Spotify is flooded with AI slop. Every week I have this trash in my Discover Weekly and Release Radar and now I can't even hide it anymore.

*This is why. They pay nothing to musicians, they even replace them by AI
and now they fight with us to make unable to remove AI **bleep**. *

Same issue here, fine on mobile, missing on desktop

I'm starting to get the impression that spotify hates us. because you are always removing features
you first ruined the shuffle button
And now the hide songs.
it's sad that spotify premium was my first ever purchase with credit card i was so happy to get it. but it seems like you hate us for some kind of reason. I will go look for other alternative like apple music.

The first time I got such a fatal list, just at the time when the "delete" button disappeared....

Hi,

Can you please turn "The Solution" around by first having the "Hide" function back and after that testing/accepting any other 'new features' while ensuring it serves our purpose as a customer as well?

It's pretty annoying not having the ability anymore to just skip songs I/we really do not like or want to hear again. Is this not useful for tuning the "customer interest" algoritm anyways to improve the way new discoveries are selected while better matching our interests?

I've noted that over the course of time the Discovery and Release Radar functions simply seem to ignore my "please do not play this again" anymore? (I had the impression this was the case before?)

Please give us back control over what we want to and likely like to hear ...

Possible idea: when skipping a song in the first 10 seconds for at least 2 times in a day, mark it 'not interested' ...

Hide function is gone... 😓

Not being able to hide songs from Discover Weekly/albums is unacceptable. Spotify, please stop breaking what's actually working. The only advantage over competitors that your app had was decent UX. But you keep actively making it worse every year. The replacement of the like button with the '+' sucked, but I could live with it. Hovewer removing an option to skip the songs I don't like is beyond what I can tolerate. I hope it's just a bug that's going to be fixed. But if it's an "improvement" made by incompenent leadership in pursue of mechanically increasing some app metric (like the number of songs listened), trust me, this attitude eventually is going to run the company into the ground.

Dear Spotify, I wish you all the worst for not paying musicians decent
rates and demolishing world of art world, but as has been said, this is too
much. I hope you will be nationalized and put under people's control.

Hey, it's been 2 weeks already, please solve this already, I feel like I'm going insane without this button

[kolinscz]

Why did Spotify removed this? Put it back!

[NeedHideButton]

Its been 2 weeks? This is an absurd way of disabling a function without any solution. Im using this app just to discover new music in case you dont know what i am paying for. So I would like to have it back please (:

You all do know that you can add the whole list of a week into a separate Playlist (say you call it '2025-01-20') and just remove the songs you didn't like, right?

@ThaVisk1

Someone else already suggested this before you. And yes, most likely the majority of the people complaining about this missing functionality do know how personal playlists work and how to create one. 

[MK444]

This is not a "Solution" , that's why u removed it.

[gkrinf]

It is still on the mobile device - Click the three dots / 3 down / "Hide this song"

[brentles1]

Yes, but this does not carry over to the desktop version. You can hide a song on your mobile, but it will still be there on Desktop, which is useless.

The Discover Weekly is the most important playlist for me, so it would be great if we could have the original [ - ] button back to where it was.

I don't think it's helpful to have useful features on one platform as opposed to another. 

On my android phone, I can arrange certain playlists by genre. This is an extremely useful feature, that for some reason unbeknownst to me, is unavailable on the pc software.

My phone is generally connected to my headphones and my computer is always connected to a speaker. Instead of having to switch between the two devices, would it be possible to have some universality across the various platforms? Genre selection and the ability to remove/indicate what I dislike for better algorithmic responses.  

Any assistance with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
