Exclude from Discover Weekly?

[thedinz]

I love discover weekly, and its spot on, i always end up adding music there, i know its based on what i have been playing and its really nails it.

Now to my issue, i have a young daughter so i have been playing a ton of disney music lately, as you can imagine this is affecting my discover weekly and im wondering what i can do about it?

Right now, i mostly listen to her music or podcast and a little of my own music so naturally, discover weekly is basis its suggestions off what i play most, disney music.

Is there anyway to exclude this?

Hey @thedinz,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community and welcome. We hope you don't mind us moving your post out of the Chat section to one of our Help boards as it fits better here.

This is something that personally happened to me a couple years ago during the christmas season. What you can do to avoid those songs from affecting your recommendations and "Wrapped" is to activate the Private session feature while playing that content. You can check more info here.

Another option if you don't want to activate the Private session every time you're playing that content, is to add all your daughters' favorite tunes to one playlist and exclude it from your Taste profile. This will prevent the content of that playlist from affecting your recommendations as well. You can find all the info here.

Hope this helps. If anything else comes up, the Community will be here for you.

This is such a plutonic way of absracting decent filtering controls from for instance echoing a regular expression pattern to the Restful API in shell or JSON cmdlet.

Why do you bisect Public session's from Private sessions ? Actually 2 seconds after typing that I am sure it's because of offloading processing priority on all of the Private sessions to save on proc cue time and ad content serving for Privates.

Hi there, 

I ran into the same exact issue, excluded the Discover Weekly playlist filled with Disney Sountracks, and for the past year has successfully kept my Discover Weekly Disney free. All of sudden, the Disney content returned and when I check settings, it only gives me the option to INCLUDE in your taste profile. What am I doing wrong and please help me get the great recommendations back to my Discover Weekly. 

Thanks!

Both my significant other and I use white noise tracks for sleep (because noisy neighbors), but now spotify algorithm has been putting such tracks into our daily mixes, release radar, etc, and it is freaking obnoxious. I'm in the middle of a 90s metal mix and all the sudden it's playing nature sounds. 

White noise, and other "sounds" should be in a category separate from actual music so that it doesn't get mixed into our daily listening.
