[All Platforms] "Don't Like Button" should be added to all sections

[zenDroid]

Hello everyone,

I am not sure why it keeps changing between updates, although in the past Daily Mixes have the Like & Dislike button. But this time around it has been completely removed and is only available Under Your Weekly Discovery.

It would be nice if the "Don't Like Button" was added everywhere, from Weekly Discovery, Daily Mixes, even when searching specific songs, albums, genres etc. to better filter our music preferences.

Also I find on Android on the drop down menu the Don't like button rarely ever works and have to enter the app directly. Like always works perfectly fine.

I would appreciate it if this could be considered.

Thank you

Hi GuyMontag53, I've recently had success doing a search for the artist at
the home screen. The three dots in the upper right have an option to not
play the artist. So far it's worked for all the various mixes and radio
stations I use.

Hi tsaff88, I've read about this feature, but 1) in many cases I only want to block a few songs by an artist, 2) for some reason I can't find this feature either on the android version or desktop version.

I don't know about android but I initially found it on the desktop of my
windows laptop. I haven't found a way to ban certain songs. I agree that
Spotify seems to favor just a few songs by artists when adding to other
playlists. I've found that by picking an artist's radio station there is a
lot more variety....but then you get the same over played songs from other
artists.

It is just plain stupid to remove good features like "I don't like this song / I don't like this artist" from the desktop app when they are so useful. I have to switch over to my iPhone to mark these songs in my Daily Mixes.

And c'mon - you should know not to mix in Christmas songs in March.

Actually I started to dislike Spotify more and more with every change you make as you keep trying to limit our experience on it by removing like/dislike buttons and keep forcing us to depend on your very inaccurate algorithm which keep suggesting songs not related at all to songs I liked and added to my Spotify library and frankly I am considering leaving Spotify 😤😤

This has been past the minimum number of votes for a few months now. Is Spotify ignoring this?

Hi bananaslug, I've found one such option recently. Go to the home page
and search for your hated artist or group. The three dots in the upper
right contain a "don't play this artist" option. So far, for me it's
worked in all situations. Yesterday I received an email from Spotify
stating that they would pass the request for a similar option for
individual songs and albums onto the development team. There was nothing
about a time frame though.

"don't play this artist" doesn't exist on my Mac. Running latest 1.1.27.472.gf6574b97

It does show up on iOS, but not sure that it is always translating to when I am listening on the desktops.

@tsaff88 I just wish they would actually comment on this idea or at least put it in an idea review even though it has been at the minimum upvote requirement for over a month or two now. Seems very snakey.

Please implement this very important feature. How on earth is the algorithm supposed to measure what a user likes without accepting negative feedback?
