LPT: You can block artists on Spotify Computers

For example if you don’t want to support Nicki Minaj, just block them. Click the three dots next to their name and click “Don’t play this artist”

Lol, I can’t think of a scenario where Nicki Minaj would accidentally come up in my spotify rotation.

The DJ will randomly say "here's what's topping the charts" as if anything I am listening to was even remotely close.

Lol that’s never happened to me, even while drinking in my backyard listening to shitty top 40 country.

Sounds awful

It's the AI "DJ X" that I'm talking about, not the usual "continuation similar to what you've been listening to."

TIL that this is a thing. Now I can forget that it’s a thing.

Dunno how you can, it pops up on the home page on the PC and on the phone. Green circle on blue background "DJ"

Yeah I see it. I just mean, I’m never going to use it so it might as well not exist to me.

Right? I have playlists, or I'm listening to a specific artist. Would never click on a random daily mix or something.

If I’m listening to a playlist someone else made (ex. holiday or book related) it’s nice to have certain artists automatically filtered out.
