My main complaint with Spotify's recommendations algorithm is that you cannot provide any clear negative feedback to it anymore.

I played a single Christmas album from an artist that my mom wanted to hear over the holidays, but I don't like that artist or style of music otherwise.

Now, every time they release a new song it comes up in my release radar, and random similar things pollute my discover weekly.

There's no way to say "never recommend this to me" or to remove past listens from my history. I'm just forever doomed, apparently, to get jumpscared with Christian contemporary music anytime I try to play these playlists.

Yeah fair enough, I have had the occasional few months where it goes a little haywire (too skewed to a genre / style I was just curiously listening to, rather than wanting more of).

It does seem to fix itself - although a negative feedback mechanism would be nice!
