I used to listen exclusively to Discover Weekly for a while. One week a finish rap song made it to the list, and I skipped past it every time it came on. Next week there was 2 finish rap songs. Then 5. Eventually half of my discovery list was finish rap, something I have no interest of. Canceled my subscription shortly after. Their algorithms are feeding themselves. I wish they had a dislike button so I could at least give them some sense of direction.
- KozmoNau7 9y agoYou should branch out from only listening to "Discover Weekly". Use the daily mixes, make your own playlists.

- hkon 9y agoEXACT SAME THING, happened to me I considered to create new account just because of this....
- Cthulhu_ 9y agoThey do have a dislike button though, the thumbs down icon next to the play controls (on the desktop version of Spotify).
- lewapkon 9y agoIt's there only if you listen to a radio, not to a playlist.
- silversmith 9y agoSometime within last month it appeared for discover weekly too, at least on mac client - https://imgur.com/a/QJluP https://imgur.com/a/QJluP
- mtremsal 9y agoThere's a way to consume Discover Weekly as a station instead of a playlist. ;)
- slhck 9y agoHow exactly? — Ah, figured it out: - Go to the DW playlist - Click the "..." options button - Then to "Go to Playlist Radio" - "Follow" the DW playlist radio - You can now up/downvote songs
- emodendroket 9y agoWow, what a great user experience.
- youareterrible 9y agoIf you had it all on screen you would talk of button fatigue. Users are the worst.
- emodendroket 9y agoDid you know Spotify also has a its approve and disapprove buttons in the desktop app on opposite sides depending on what particular radio-like feature you're using?
- iron0012 9y agoDW playlist radio != DW playlist
- shostack 9y agoNot for Discover Weekly they don't. Only your Daily Mixes and other radio stations.
- dx034 9y agoI have the exact same thing with Dutch rap music. I'm not Dutch, don't speak Dutch and have never listened to Dutch music. But Spotify consistently puts 2-4 Dutch songs on my Discover Weekly.
- graphitezepp 9y agoThis is hilarious to me. On the other side, I have been getting super into French rap music, and Spotify refuses to notice.
