Unable to remove songs from Discover Weekly

Solved!

Unable to remove songs from Discover Weekly

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?

I still am having this problem.  I tried logging out/in twice to force a resync; and also uninstalled/reinstalled Spotify with no change.  Still no "Hide" buttons in Discover Weekly.

Same for me.  First time discovering this.  can still unlike and hide on the New Releases playlist, but not on Discover Weekly, which I thought if you UNLIKE something, that artist or type of music will get featured less for you.

Still gone. Is there an ETA for getting this feature back? It makes the discover weekly playlist useless.

It came back mid December, like you said, but has now been removed again. Strange thing is: it was still there this morning and I had already removed a few songs. Since approx. one hour I have what looks like a new, full playlist again but without the hide buttons.  Logging out/in twice did not do the trick.

I've also got this issue.

Windows app - the minus sign has disappeared from the discover weekly playlist - why ? 

Same, can't remove garbage suggestions from discover weekly anymore. What's the reason behind this?

It is very important that this "feature" be restored. I should not have to go to then artist page and fully block an artist just to prevent one specific version of one song from playing in Discover Weekly.

It disappeared for me today as well. I hid songs yesterday and today it was all reset. After restarting Spotify, the app updated itself, but the "hide" option is still not showing.

Same. I want the dislike button back! I hope this is just some temporary thing/bug, because I though the whole idea of dislike  button is to train Spotify to better learn my taste. Or am I mistaken?

I can't hide track in discover weekly anymore. Is this a recent thing?
IIRC, this was possible just a week ago.

Also seems to play songs which have already been disliked on other devices 😞

Thanks for the info, folks!

FWIW, I use the linux-version on my desktop.
The Android app seems to still have the minus/hide track available. But the hidden songs there are not reflected in the desktop app!

 

Update
I also use the latest available versions on desktop and mobile.

 

Have been using Spotify Weekly almost every week for years and never had this issue before, but the button disappeared for me yesterday. Restarting the app, the PC and reinstalling the app didn't work. Logging out and back in again twice in a row also didn't help.

My Question or Issue

After the last update, the Dislike button is missing from the Discover Weekly playlist.
I'm not sure about the other menus, as I'm not a power user, but here it was pretty critical - I like to listen to new offerings once a week, but at the same time I often get music in that playlist that I don't want to listen to, so listening to the week's new offerings I dislike the ones I'm not interested in until I'm left with a suitable playlist to play in my headphones while I work, without distractions.

I found a thread on Reddit where people are discussing the same thing.
Perhaps this is some sort of A/B test? Either way, I'd prefer not to be without this feature.

I also have this problem on the web and Mac desktop app. I don't understand why this isn't fixed since 2 months.

Hi, once you have an answer can you post it here, please?

I also have this problem and I use this feature quite often.

Thanks

Very annoying having to manually skip tracks on multiple listening-iterations of discover-weekly,

and probably having songs that I don't ever want to listen to probably being suggested again in the future 💩
