Notifications from artists I did not like?

Hi @fab.freya1, thanks for your message,
The option to turn the algorithm off is not available on the Deezer app.
Nevertheless, you can turn your information in as an idea here on the Community and wait if your suggestion gets votes on it.

Olá @fab.freya1, thanks for sharing your feedback with us.
You can transform your information in a idea.

Hi everyone, like Yula already said in the previous posts, our teams are doing some tests to improve the algorithm that sends notifications. 

 

I agree that it is so inconsistent, it seems that I'll get notifications for any artist that I've added to a playlist, for example I can say that Galantis has been added to my party playlist for when I have friends round, but I know for a fact that I have never liked the artist page or the songs because I don't really listen to their stuff. As @Yoshendi said I'm not prepared to go through every artist I don't like to stop notifications, it would be so easy to add preferences and options to the notifications to only have *actual* favourited artists, so I really don't understand why this can't be added.

Hey, thanks for the reply.

Yes, we’ve noticed. The first 2 points we are taking issue with and want to turn off so we have normal notifications again.

It's nearly been a month since my last comment, please can we get an update @Yula thanks.

Yeah this is why we are asking for it to be an optional notification, @Yula is this something that can be implemented? Would like an update please

I have also been experiencing this and I really hate being spammed with artists that I don't want to get notifications from. I listen to everything, but I don't want to get notifications from main stream/popular artists, so I choose to selectively get notifications from more niche genres or not as well known artists.

With this new algorithm, there is no customisation, and I don't want to have to go through the "new releases section" to find out whether an artist that I have liked has released a new song - it is not efficient (for me anyway). At least give us an option to either have the app give notifications of the artists you have liked/subscribed to, or a version with the algorithm which gives you a mix of your music tastes similar to flow (I'm assuming).

Ultimately, I may as well turn my notifications off because the artists I do want to hear from get drowned in the noise (no pun intended) of the other releases (if they're even being sent via notifications) and I'm getting irritated by the other notifications I am receiving because I don't want them. If I wanted to discover new music, I would use flow mixes.

Obviously this is just my specific take on the situation and everyone has used the notifications in different ways, but I wanted to give a different perspective on how notifications (in the previous version) have been really useful for me. I really hope you can make it an optional notification. 

Hey, that doesn’t make sense, considering nothing on the site has explained that favouriting artists doesn’t follow them like any other website. Letalone needing to go out of the way to go to a “new releases” playlist (which sounds like new releases across the site, not specifically for my favourites).

Can I be removed from this test? I just want notifications from ONLY the artists I’ve favourited, and from all of them, like before.

Any update on this? I just got a notification dump where only 2/9 artists were favourited, and I’m still missing some notifications from artists that I have favourited...

Ok, thanks. I am definitely very intentional with which artists I want updates from.

I’m having the same problem, i hope this gets fixed soon, it’s a little annoying.
