> I work in this industry and actually we’ve found from online experimentation customers generally don’t want to tell you they dislike something. > Skipping a song after less then 20 seconds for example can train a model as well as incorporating an explicit dislike button. Really? Cause I constantly wish for granularity in my ability to dislike something. Insta-skip might mean I'm just not in the mood. Or it might be "never play goddamn clownstep in my neurofunk mix". Or it might be "I actually love that song but I reserve it for special occasions to get into a specific headspace and if I listen to it too much it loses spark". Same signal, three radically different valences. I just wish services didn't treat all their customers like simps. I'd easily pay double for the ability to like, specify "Tuesday is flying microtonal banana day" or "start switching to prog house around 16:00 because that's when I start to get really deep into code but also easily frazzled." I'd pay gobs of money for Pandora's ability to discover new music with the library of Youtube+Spotify.
